CALIFORNIA CHICKEN SANDWICH (COOKING LIGHT)

Here is a sandwich that is good for you and has great flavor especially if you like sweet and savory together. I don't really like the taste of fat free mayo so I use the low fat kind instead.

COOKING LIGHT'S PULLED CHICKEN SANDWICHES

This was absolutely fantastic. I used chicken breasts rather then thighs, and shortened the chicken cooking time to keep it a little healthier. The whole family loved the recipe, and the leftovers were gone faster then the dish! Serve with toast or rolls, and dill pickles! Cooking Light, June 2007
