Grilled Chicken and Zucchini Sandwich
Although you can use both light and dark meat on this sandwich, it's best with breast meat. To kick-start lunch preparation, cook the zucchini on the grill while you're cooking the chicken; you can even assemble the sandwich the night before.
Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 wedge)
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 teaspoon bottled minced garlic
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoons extravirgin olive oil
- 2 small zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise (about 12 ounces)
- 1 (8-ounce) package plain focaccia, cut in half horizontally
- 2 ounces thinly sliced sharp provolone cheese
- 2 cups thinly sliced skinless, boneless Grilled Lemon-Herb Chicken (about 8 ounces)
- 1/4 cup sliced bottled roasted red bell peppers
Preparation
Combine first 4 ingredients; set aside.
Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat.
Brush olive oil evenly over both sides of zucchini slices. Place half of zucchini on grill rack or grill pan; grill 2 minutes on each side or until lightly browned. Remove from grill or grill pan. Repeat procedure with remaining zucchini.
Layer bottom half of focaccia with cheese, zucchini, mayonnaise mixture, Grilled Lemon-Herb Chicken, bell peppers, and top half of focaccia. Cut into four wedges. Wrap in foil or parchment paper; chill.

Delicious! I added grilled red onion to the sandwich and used rye bread. I grilled all the vegetables on a George Foreman. After assembling the sandwich I sprayed the rye bread with cooking spray and grilled until there were toasty grill marks. Perfect late summer lunch!09/05/06

Really tasty! I grilled the chicken and zucchini at the same time on an open panini grill, then closed the grill to melt the sandwich. Quick and easy. I didn't have the roasted pepper, so I grilled the pepper alongside the zucchini. My husband asked for a regular sandwich night after this one.10/03/05
