Servings: 2 panini
Calories: 350.5kcal
Equipment
- mixing bowl
- Wooden spoon
- panini press, two-sided electric grill, or skillet
Ingredients
- 7½ oz shredded chicken
- 6 tbsp your favorite barbecue sauce - I used G. Hughes barbecue sauce.
- 2 slices ultra thin co-jack or cheddar cheese (see notes)
- ¾ c homemade coleslaw (see notes)
- 2 Schmidt 647 Kaiser rolls or your favorite low carb rolls or buns
Instructions
- Place the shredded chicken in a bowl. I always have containers of shredded chicken in the freezer. If you don't have shredded chicken on hand, you can cook a couple of chicken breasts and shred them or use left over rotisserie chicken.
- Add the barbecue sauce to the shredded chicken and toss to evenly coat the chicken.
- Cut the rolls in half. Divide the chicken into two portions and place one portion on the bottom half of each roll.
- Place a slice of ultra thin co-jack or cheddar cheese on top of the shredded barbecue chicken.
- Divide the coleslaw into two portions. Place one portion of coleslaw on top of the cheese on each sandwich.
- Place the top half of the roll on each sandwich. Place the sandwiches in a panini press, or grill both sides on a two-sided grill. If you have neither, place the sandwich in a skillet and weigh it down while the bottom side grills, then flip it and repeat to grill the other side.
- Serve and enjoy.
Notes
I made homemade coleslaw from this previously posted recipe.
The recipe as made with 647 Schmidt kaiser rolls is 6 pt. The sodium in this panini is 841 mg.
Using a 647 Schmidt sandwich roll instead will still be 5 pt but it will lower the sodium to 621 mg.
You can substitute the ultra thin cheese slice with 2 tbsp of Kraft shredded fat free cheddar cheese making the panini 4 pt. However, this substitute will raise the sodium to 684.5 mg.
Mrs. Taste makes salt free barbecue sauce that has an on-line rating of 4.6/5 stars
