Figure Friendly Chicken Parm Sub--14 points


From Rachael Ray
Ingredients
* 3 tablespoons EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided
* 2 to 3 cloves garlic, smashed and peeled
* 1 packed cup dry sun-dried tomatoes
* 1 1/2 cups chicken stock
* 1 15-ounce can chopped tomatoes
* 1 cup basil, roughly chopped
* Salt and ground black pepper
* 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (I poached 2 chicken breasts)
* 1/2 cup Parmigiano Reggiano cheese, grated
* 4 sub rolls, split open (but not all the way through)
* 8 slices fresh mozzarella cheese (I used 4 slices of skim milk cheese)


Yields: 4 servings
Preparation

Preheat broiler.


Place a medium-size skillet over medium heat with 2 turns of the pan of EVOO, about 2 tablespoons. Add the garlic to the pan and cook gently until aromatic and light golden brown, about 2 minutes. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, stock, some salt and pepper to the pan (the stock should cover the tomatoes) and simmer until the tomatoes have plumped up and softened, about 15-20 minutes. Add the can of tomatoes to the pan then transfer the mixture to a food processor and puree. Add chopped basil, season with salt and ground black pepper and reserve warm back in the skillet.
Step

Return the sauce to the skillet and add in the rotisserie chicken. Simmer until the chicken has heated through, 2-3 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat and stir in the Parmigiano. Divide the mixture between the sub rolls and top with a slice or two of mozzarella. Pop the sandwiches under the broiler until the cheese is melted and golden brown.

Of course it is a little lighter compared to the restaurant version. The roll alone is 7 points--so if you could find a whole wheat sub roll or use something lighter it would be less points. It was very filling though and worth the points for the meal. And Kevin didn't think it was a diet food!
