What ciabatta rolls do I use for this sandwich? 

I get the ciabatta rolls from Trader Joes.

Here’s a picture of the ciabatta rolls. 

Trader Joe’s also sells French rolls that are 130 calories or 4 personalpoints, if you aren’t able to find the ciabatta rolls. 

I like to use my homemade pesto sauce or Trader Joe’s Pesto all Genovese mixed with light Kraft Mayo for the creamy pesto sauce. This pesto sauce is 2 points per 1 Tbsp. 

Ingredients:

• 1 ( 4 oz.) boneless, skinless, chicken thinly sliced chicken breast
• Season with your favorite chicken seasoning like paprika, garlic powder, seasoned salt ect. (I use Daks original red seasoning.)
• 1 Tbsp pesto sauce ( I use my homemade pesto sauce or  Trader Joe’s Pesto alla Genovese)
• 1 Tbsp light mayonnaise ( I use light Kraft mayonnaise)
• 2 slices of red onion
• 1 ciabatta roll ( I use Trader Joe’s 3 or 5 point ciabatta roll)

Directions:

1. Season and grill chicken breast in a cast iron grill or outdoor grill. (I use this cast iron grill)
2. Grill chicken until it’s no longer pink.
3. Slice ciabatta rolls and place in toaster.
4. In a small mixing bowl combine pesto and mayo. Stir until both ingredients have been incorporated.
5. Spread pesto mayo on toasted ciabatta and add onion and grilled chicken
