Ingredients


• 250ml (1 cup) sauerkraut
  
• 8 slices (30g each) sliced firm-texture low GI whole-wheat bread
  
• Non-stick cooking spray
  
• 1 apple, cored and thinly sliced or grated
  
• 360g sliced cooked chicken breast
  
• 60g thinly sliced Swiss cheese (you can use Swiss cheese with a tang such as Emmental, or you can substitute your own favourite cheese either sliced or grated)
  

Instructions:
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/ grated apple, 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.
