Ingredients
1 cup canned or pkged sauerkraut
8 slices very thin sliced firm-texture whole wheat bread
Nonstick cooking spray
1 apple, cored and thinly sliced
12 ounces sliced cooked chicken breast
4 thin slices Swiss cheese (2 to 3 ounces total)
Preparation
- Place sauerkraut in a colander and rinse with cold water. Drain well, using a spoon to press out excess liquid. Set aside.
- Lightly coat one side of each bread slice with cooking spray. Place four bread slices, coated sides down, on a work surface. Top with chicken, sauerkraut, apple slices, and cheese. Top with the remaining four bread slices, coated sides up.
- Coat an unheated grill pan or large skillet with cooking spray. Preheat over medium-low heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Add sandwiches, in batches if necessary. Place a heavy skillet atop sandwiches. Cook over medium-low heat for 6 to 8 minutes or until bottoms are toasted. Using hot pads, carefully remove top skillet. Turn sandwiches and top again with skillet. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes more or until bottoms are toasted.
