Chicken Parmigiana Sandwich

Within hours of starting my diet, I was overwhelmed and ready to quit. I love that Weight Watchers has so many recipes, but it is also a curse. So many things to choose from, it had my head spinning. I knew if I was going to stand a chance on this diet, I needed to start with a favorite. If it turned out well, then this diet would be possible.  So the first night of my diet, we had Chicken Parmigiana Sandwiches, as found on Better Than Burgers. Six weeks into my diet, and this is the meal I keep craving over and over.

Chicken Parmigiana Sandwich
1/4 cup fat free dressing
1/3 cup bread crumbs
1 lb. Chicken beasts cut into 4 pieces
1/2 cup tomato sauce
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
8 slices sourdough bread
--------
Preheat oven to 400. Cut chicken breasts into 4 pieces. Place Italian dressing and bread crumbs in separate bowls,. Dip chicken in dressing and then dip in bread crumbs, coating evenly. Place on baking sheet. Cook for 30 minutes. Combine tomato sauce, oregano and garlic powder in a small saucepan. Cook until boiling. Remove from heat. When chicken is done top with tomato sauce and cheese. Return to oven until cheese is bubbly. Toast bread, if desired. Place chicken on 1 slice of toast and top with another slice. Serve immediately. Makes 4 sandwiches.

1 sandwich = 8 points plus
