Egg Salad Sandwich

Egg Salad Sandwich




- 1 large egg,*hard boiled

- 1 Laughing Cow Light Swiss Cheese wedge (flavored is also really yummy!)

- salt & pepper, to taste

- whole wheat bread (we use Deli flats)



Directions:

Remove shell from egg. Mash egg and cheese into a small bowl until well combined, creamy consistency. Season to taste. Spread mixture on bread. Enjoy! Eat a handful of carrots on the side and you've got yourself a full GO meal!



Note: The Laughing Cow Cheese kind of serves as another type of mayo substitute, in my opinion. Very flavorful. It's a protein, and is just 35 calories per wedge.



* Here's how I boil an egg: Fill a pot with cool tap water. Insert egg into cold water. Place on stove and turn heat on High. When the water begins to boil, boil for 1 minute. Turn stove off, but the pot remains on the hot burner. Cover with lid and let sit for about 20 minutes. Perfect every time!



How I peel an egg: if you want to enjoy your hard boiled egg sooner than later, then you can flash cool it by letting it soak in icy, cold water until it cools through. This could take several minutes. You can tell its cool through because when you hold the egg in your hand, it won't get warm after a few seconds. Once the egg is cold, it'll be easy to peel the shell and membrane from the egg.

Mayo Replacement

I posted this a couple of rounds ago, so this is for all you newbies. Evelyn posted something similar in her Chicken Salad Sandwich recipe.




I use cottage cheese in place of mayo and season it with Ranch powder. I use it as a dip and on sandwiches and wraps. It is very good. I'm thinking I should try blending it to see how that works out.

Strawberries N Cream

Palm size portion Fat Free plain greek yogurt.

Everyone else was eating strawberry shortcake (Em and Luke have day off)

I took meal off to eat lunch with them, and this was my third meal while they ate cake!

Chicken Fingers

I haven't read all over to see if there is a recipe just like this, but I will assume there probably is. I saw part of an Oprah episode last week when Jamie Oliver was on. He is brilliant. He made chicken and I was like "I could do that." I hope this is all game on friendly.




Chicken fingers

2 servings



1 large chicken breast

1 slice of Whole Wheat bread (oroweat has ww bread that is high fructose corn syrup free)

1 tsp (or your fat portion) of ev-olive oil.

Egg white

Seasonings

Mustard

Honey



I had a very large chicken breast and cut it into 10 quarter inch diagonal slices. I toasted the slice of bread and dried it out. I processed it into bread crumbs and seasoned them with tasty herbs and garlic salt. I dipped the chicken pieces into the egg whites then in the bread crumb mixture, and then put in a hot pan with the evoo. It cooks very quickly so I turned them when they were dark golden brown. Remove from heat and serve on a tray with honey mustard. (mix a tiny bit of mustard with a tiny bit of honey. It makes an excellent dip).



Protein: chicken and trace amount of bread crumbs

Carb: Small amount of bread crumbs, and honey mustard, apple slices

Fat: evoo - extra virgin olive oil.



1 large chicken breast is 2 servings of protein for me, so you can make a whole one and save the leftovers for another serving or share. My kids devoured this like nothing I've ever seen. I actually made this on my free day, saturday evening. If it's not legal by some strange way, it didn't lose me any points.

Hearty Chicken Salad Sandwich

I don't know if anyone has thought this up. But last night, I we had chicken breasts for dinner that I had slow cooked in my crock pot. The chicken was very tender, and we had left overs. I was discussing with my husband what he thinks we could make with them, and he suggested chicken salad sandwich. But since Mayo is not a legal food, I regrouped. here is the recipe




Chicken Salad Sandwich



chicken breast shredded (I warmed mine slightly since it was in the fridge-it was easier to shred)

serving cottage cheese

whole wheat bread

tomato

baby spinach



Shred and combine the chicken and cottage cheese (I'm sure ricotta might taste alright too). Combine on your bread for your sandwich. Basically any veggies that you like on a sandwich would taste great!



My daughter loves it too!



Protein: Chicken

Healthy Fat: Cottage Cheese...if that is not enough then have some nuts on the side

WW Bread: Carb

Extra veggies: Well, those are you veggies!



I always have a handful of fresh cut celery, cucumbers and sometimes carrots with my lunch. SO there you go!

Spicy Red Chile Enchiladas

These are super easy, and are not completely making them from scratch.




Spicy Red Chile Enchiladas



Ingredients:



Boneless chicken breasts fully cooked

shredded low fat cheese.. any kind you like

whole wheat tortillas

Enchilada sauce (see end of post for sauce details)



I sprayed my pan with no fat cooking spray, seasoned my chicken with salt and pepper, and other spices (season how you like it). After chicken was fully cooked, I diced it up and put it in a bowl. Next I combined the sauce with the chicken by pouring it over the chicken. Then I put a line across the center of a ww tortlla, with a sprinkle of cheese, then rolled it up and put it in the pan. Repeat until you have the quantity you would like.



Bake on 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes or so. I always guess and check them after a certain amount of time. Mine cooked for 25 minutes and turned out perfect.



My measurements are all based on how many you are cooking for. I figure a serving per person with all ingredients.



Protein: Chicken

Healthy Fat: Cheese

Carb: Tortilla

Veggies: The sauce



The Chile Sauce:



The brand is Senor Pino's Red Chile



I am slightly skeptical that anyone will find it outside of NM or AZ. This is the more authentic sauce for enchiladas. But I found mine at Sam's Club here in Roswell. You could try there, or maybe Walmart. I hope you all can find it (if you are interested). It is processed in Albequerque, NM. Maybe when I find out how to make it for from scratch, I will share it will you all.



The ingredients include: water, new mexico red chile pods, salt, garlic, and onion powder. That's it! And any of you who are interested in trying to make it anyway, the sauce is completely pureed.
