Ingredients
- 1 piece chicken breast
- 1 tbsp lemon pepper seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 whole‑grain sandwich roll
- 1 cup baby arugula
- 2 slices sliced tomato
- 1 tbsp light mayonnaise
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
Instructions
- 1Pat the chicken breast dry with paper towels and place it between two sheets of plastic wrap; gently pound with a meat mallet until it is an even ½‑inch thickness.
- 2Season both sides of the chicken with lemon pepper seasoning, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper; let it rest for 2 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- 3Heat a non‑stick skillet over medium‑high heat and add 1 tbsp olive oil, swirling to coat the pan.
- 4When the oil shimmers, add the seasoned chicken breast to the skillet. Cook for 4‑5 minutes on the first side without moving it, until a golden crust forms.
- 5Flip the chicken and cook an additional 3‑4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (165°F) and the meat is cooked through.
- 6While the chicken finishes cooking, split the whole‑grain roll and toast it lightly in a toaster or on a clean side of the skillet for 1 minute, until just crisp.
- 7Spread 1 tbsp light mayonnaise on the bottom half of the toasted roll.
- 8Layer the cooked chicken on the mayo, then add a generous handful of baby arugula and the sliced tomato on top.
- 9Close the sandwich with the top half of the roll, press gently, and let it rest for 1 minute to allow flavors to meld.
- 10Slice the sandwich in half diagonally, serve immediately, and enjoy a fresh, low‑calorie lunch.
