Low- Fat Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwich

Chicken caesar salad can be really high in calories and really high in saturated fat.  Caesar dressing is  high in calories and saturated fat, and so is the parmesan cheese that  is added to the dressing and sprinkled on top, plus theres the butter that the croutons are cooked in.

This chicken salad sandwich is made with part caesar dressing and part plain greek yogurt.  The Greek yogurt takes on the flavor or the caesar dressing.  This way you still get all the flavor, without all the calories.  A toasted whole wheat bagel has less fat than croutons and has more fiber.

Low Fat Chicken Caesar Salad Sandwich

What you'll need: 
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
- 1 1/2 cups chopped romaine
-  3 tbsp plain non-fat Greek yogurt
- 3 tbsp Caesar dressing
- 1 tbsp grated parmesan
- 1 chicken breast
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1 whole wheat bagel

What to do:
1.  Bring ~3 cups water to a simmer and add chicken.  Insert thermometer into chicken.  Cook until it reaches 160*F.  Remove, let sit ~ 10 minutes.  Then cut up into 4 pieces to let cool.  When chicken is cooled, pull apart chicken.

2.  Combine yogurt, dressing, parmesan, onion, lettuce, pepper, and chicken in a bowl.

3.  Toast bagel.  Make one sandwich with each half of a bagel and the chicken mixture.
