Chicken with Carmelized Onion & Tomato on Rye

Ingredients:

• 2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 large onion, thinly sliced
• 1/2 tsp. fresh thyme leaves
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1/8 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
• 2 (1/4-lb.) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 4 tsp. light sour cream
• 4 slices rye or pumpernickel bread
• 4 large slices tomato

Makes 4 Servings (1/2 sandwich per serving)

1. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onion turns deep golden brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
2. Put the same skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on the outside and cooked through, 12-14 minutes.
3. Spread 1 teaspoon of the sour cream on each slice of bread. Divide the onion between the 2 bread slices, top with the tomato and warm chicken, then top each with a slice of the remaining bread. Cut each sandwich in half and serve while warm.

WW POINTS VALUE: 5 pts.

 

Note: This recipe appears in the WW Ultimate Chicken Cookbook. This is what I call a gourmet sandwich. The onions are so delicious with the tomato and chicken. When you cook the chicken, don't forget to season with salt, freshly ground pepper and garlic for a flavorful chicken. I highly recommend adding some leafy greens to the sandwich to make it more filling and the points value might be affected.
