Now that I have your attention...

I had the chicken sandwich for lunch today BUT I doctored it up a bit! Last night I defrosted the chicken and marinated it in Kraft Roasted Red Pepper Italian w/Parmesan salad dressing (2 T = 35 cals, 2 g fat) for a few minutes. I then broiled it while toasting the bun (I guess it can be pan fried as well). While packing things separately for my lunch today I added some roasted vegetables (leftover from dinner) to the container with the chicken. Then at work all I had to do was heat up the chicken & veggies, put them on the bun and microwave it all for just 15 seconds. Oh, I also put about a teaspoon of Dijon mustard on the bun. All I can say is YUMMY! It really was good! I also had spinach salad with sliced mushrooms, sugar plum tomatoes and 1 T of Newman's Lighten Up- Lowfat Sesame Ginger salad dressing (2 T = 35 cals, 1.5 g fat). If you haven't tried that dressing yet it is awesome and a little goes a long way.

For dinner tonight I had the Salisbury Steak. I like it as is, but tonight I added approximately 1 T Rotel to the top of the steak and potatoes. The Rotel gave it all a nice "kick". I also had a cup of roasted vegetables.

It didn't feel like I was eating "diet food" today!

WOW! That sounded wonderful. Both meals sounded great. I always cook my food like that in the oven and doctored up. I sometimes make the chicken sandwich with buffalo sauce and top it with lettuce and lite blue cheese dressing. Yesterday I had the chili con carne with about 2 tab of tomatoes with chili seasoning It was really good it is similar to the rotel except chili seasoning instead of the chilis.

GREAT Ideas! The chicken sandwich needs *something* I agree...I'll certainly try this. Thanks for sharing!

I made the chicken sandwich a 'caprese' sandwich, which was wonderful.

I heated up the chicken like normal, but drizzled it with my balsamic salad dressing. Then I used my morning milk serving for a 1/8 cup of reduced fat mozzarella, sliced up some plum tomato, and topped it with chopped basil.

Put it on a toasted bun, and it's a great treat.

I've also discovered that a Tsp. of wasabi mayonaise (in place of my salad dressing) can punch up either the Turkey Burger or Chicken Sandwich.

that's awesome! isn't JC food absolutely wonderful!?! when i joined, i was expecting "blah, airplane-type food".

sure, some aren't great, but i enjoy enough of the options that i never get bored with their food.

for dessert tonight......


Double Chocolate Cake, topped with 3 Tbls. Fat Free Cool Whip (25 calories), and sliced up a kiwi and fanned around the cake.
