If you are looking for chicken breast recipes that are under 500 calories, this is a tasty choice. One sandwich is only about 470 calories.
Marinate about 3 ounces of poultry pieces in 1/2 cup of white wine, 1/2 tsp. of minced garlic and a pinch of pepper for 4-6 hours. Grill chicken until thoroughly cooked. Slice your favorite bun in half, arrange a bed of lettuce on the bottom half, top with a few onion rings and the cooked white meat. Sprinkle with low fat cheese.
Barbecue Sandwich
There are chicken breast recipes that you can use to substitute for other sources of protein such as meat. Here is one that is flavorful and easy to prepare, requiring only 5 ingredients:
Marinate 4 pieces of white meats in 1/2 cup of red wine vinegar, 1/4 cup of vegetable oil and 1 cup of your trusted BBQ sauce. Reserve about 1/4 cup of the marinade for basting later. Once that is done, grill the meat over hot coals until thoroughly cooked, making sure to baste for added flavor.
When the meat is almost done, spread grated cheese on top until it melts. Remove the meat and serve on your favorite bun or roll.
