4 Weight Watchers SmartPoints® Per Serving
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup packed basil leaves
1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon finely chopped lemongrass
1 tablespoon finely chopped or grated ginger root
1 tablespoon canola oil
1 finely chopped medium garlic clove
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground (or to taste)
1 cup shredded and finely grated carrots
2 spritzes cooking spray
1 pound uncooked boneless skinless chicken breasts (4 breasts, 4 ounces each)
4 thin rolls whole wheat sandwich bread
1/4 thinly sliced medium cucumber
Directions
1. In a mini chopper or food processor, combine basil, cilantro, lime juice, lemongrass, ginger, oil, garlic, salt, and pepper; pulse until smooth. Add water, 1 teaspoon at a time, to thin sauce (if desired). Spoon sauce in a small bowl and add carrots; toss to combine and set aside.
2. Coat a grill or grill pan with cooking spray; preheat to medium-high.
3. Pound chicken until 1/4-inch thick. Season both sides of chicken with pepper, if desired (you don’t need salt because the sauce is very flavorful). Place chicken on grill and cook until browned and cooked through, flipping once, about 2 to 3 minutes per side.
5. Place 1 piece of chicken on bottom half of a roll; top with 1/4 cup carrot mixture, 1/4 of cucumber slices, and a roll top. Repeat with remaining ingredients and serve.
Serving size: 1 sandwich.
