Ingredients

For the chicken:

1 non-fat plain yogurt

juice and zest of 1 lemon

1 clove garlic, minced

10 basil leaves, chopped

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (3 oz each)

For the relish:

1 tablespoon olive oil

1/2 cup finely chopped yellow onion

1 clove garlic, minced

salt to taste

freshly ground black pepper

1 cup roasted red peppers, chopped

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

10 basil leaves, chopped

For the sandwiches:

1 cup arugula leaves

4 Low Fat Whole Wheat Buns

Cooking Instructions

For the chicken:

1. Mix the yogurt, lemon juice and zest, garlic and basil together in a large mixing bowl. Add the chicken and coat it evenly with the yogurt mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

For the relish:

1. Meanwhile, prepare the red pepper relish. Heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the raw red pepper, onion and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes. Add the roasted red peppers and balsamic vinegar and cook for 5 more minutes. Remove from heat, cool and stir in the basil. (This can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.)

For the chicken:

1. Preheat the grill to high heat.

2. Remove the chicken from the marinade and discard the marinade. (This protects against cross-contamination.) Season the chicken with salt and pepper.

3. Grill the chicken on both sides until it is cooked through, about 6 to 8 minutes per side. Let the chicken cool slightly and slice it on the bias.

For the sandwiches:

1. Spread 4 halves of the buns with some of the red pepper relish, then top with sliced chicken and arugula. Finish the sandwiches with a dollop of relish and the other half of the bun.
