Orange Aioli Chicken Sandwich

I had to try this recipe when I found it in cooking light. The whole wheat Oroweat Sandwich Thins seems like a great idea. These thin buns are light, somewhat pillowy but not a waste of space like Wonder Bread. They are whole grain, do not have any high fructose corn syrup, are very low fat, and best of all, each bun is just 100 calories (the typical calorie count for one slice of bread is 90, so you're getting a complete bun for the cost of one slice of bread)!





Ingredients:
Citrus Mayonnaise:
1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
4  tablespoons orange juice
1  teaspoon lime juice
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon hot sauce

Sandwiches:
4 chicken breasts
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4  Oroweat Sandwich Thins
4  small romaine lettuce leaves
2  plum tomatoes, each cut lengthwise into 4 slices
1  peeled avocado, cut into 8 wedges
Cooking spray

Directions:
1. To prepare citrus mayonnaise, combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl.
2. To prepare the sandwiches, sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Place a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat; add chicken. Cook 5 minutes on each side. Reduce heat to low. Cover; cook 5 minutes or until done. Remove from heat. Cut chicken diagonally across 
grain into thin slices.
3. Spread 1 tablespoon citrus mayonnaise on each of Oroweat Sandwich Thins halves. Top with 1 lettuce leaf, 1 chicken breast, 2 tomato slices, 2 avocado wedges, and close.
