Ingredients

WW Multigrain sandwich thins

4 slice(s), lightly toasted

Red onion

1 cup(s), sliced, thinly slivered, rinsed under cold running water

Fresh lime juice

6 tbsp(s), divided

Cilantro

3 tbsp(s), fresh, coarsely chopped (plus extra for garnish)

Table salt

¾ tsp(s), divided, or to taste

Olive oil

2 tsp(s), extra virgin

Hot pepper sauce

1½ tsp(s)

Ground cumin

1 tsp(s)

Dried oregano

1 tsp(s)

Minced garlic

1 tsp(s)

Uncooked boneless skinless chicken breast

1 pound(s), thin cutlets

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine onions, 1/4 cup lime juice, cilantro and 1/4 teaspoon salt; toss to mix. Let stand, tossing occasionally, until slightly wilted, about 45 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine remaining 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt, oil, hot sauce, cumin, oregano and garlic. Add chicken to bowl and turn to coat; let stand 20 minutes, turning occasionally.
  3. Coat a large nonstick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Add chicken (discard marinade) and cook, turning once, until chicken is cooked through, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  4. Remove chicken to a cutting board and thinly slice.
  5. To make sandwiches, layer 1/4 of sliced chicken and then 1/4 of pickled onions on each roll bottom. Drizzle with any juices in bottom of bowl and then sprinkle with cilantro (optional); cover with thin tops. Yields 1 sandwich per serving.
