Chicken & Red Pepper Sandwich

So here is my recipe for this very flavorful sandwich.

I had some red peppers left over from something we made and wanted to do something with them, so I came up with this simple, yet delicious, recipe for a great sandwich.

Ingredients:
Boneless, Skinless, Chicken Breast
Cream Cheese (low fat, or if you can find, fat free)
Mrs. Dash seasoning
Garlic Pepper
Garlic Salt
Seasoning salt (Lawry's type)
Red Bell Peppers
Monterey Jack Cheese (block or shredded)
Olive Oil
Wheat French Rolls

Preparation:
First off, you want to season the chicken breast with the garlic pepper, Mrs. Dash, and season salt. I don't really have a particular amount I put on but you want to put on enough to give it some taste. I use a covered stoneware baker and put it in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Then slice the red bell peppers into 2-inch wide strips, coat a frying pan in olive oil and saute the bell peppers until tender (if you have time to fire-roast the peppers, that would taste a little better).

Cut about an 1/8 of the cream cheese block off and put it in a bowl. Add about a half-teaspoon of each of these seasonings: Mrs. Dash, seasoning salt, and garlic salt. Cover and put in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds. Mix the cream cheese and seasonings well.

Cut the french rolls lengthwise and spread the cream cheese spread onto the bread.

When the chicken is done, cut into strips and line the bottom piece of bread with chicken. Cover with jack cheese. Line the top piece of bread with the bell pepper and put both pieces open-faced in the toaster oven and toast on medium-high (this is very important to melt the cheese, to meld the flavors together from the spread, to the chicken, to the bell peppers, and to add a little texture to the bread).

When done toasting, put the pieces together and...voila, you have a delicious concoction.
