    Recipe Introduction


    Makes 4 servings
    6 points per serving

    List of Ingredients




    2 cloves garlic, crushed
    4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 3/4 pound)
    Nonstick cooking spray
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon black pepper
    1 tablespoon prepared pesto sauce
    4 small hard rolls, split
    12 fresh spinach leaves
    8 fresh basil leaves* (optional)
    3 plum tomatoes, sliced
    1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

    Recipe



    *Omit basil leaves if fresh are unavailable. Do not substitute dried
    basil leaves.

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Rub garlic on all surfaces of chicken. Spray medium nonstick skillet with cooking spray; heat over medium heat until hot. Add chicken; cook 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until no longer pink in center. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

    Brush pesto sauce onto bottom halves of rolls; layer with spinach, basil, if desired, and tomatoes. Place chicken in rolls; sprinkle cheese evenly over chicken. (If desired, sandwiches may be prepared up to this point and wrapped in aluminum foil. Refrigerate until ready to bake. Bake in preheated 350°F oven until chicken is warm, about 20
    minutes.)

    Wrap sandwiches in aluminum foil; bake about 10 minutes or until cheese is melted.
