Italian Chicken Mozzarella Sandwich

[Sunny_0ne]

I finally got the flax seed bun recipe adjusted so it doesn't taste heavy and eggy. Today I topped it with chicken breast strips dusted with oregano and salt and fried in coconut oil. Then I added mozzarella and a little more oregano and stuck it under the broiler until the cheese was melted.

The recipe I used for the bun was:

1/4 c. flax meal
1/2 t. baking powder
1 egg (beaten until it was foamy)
1 T butter (melted)
pinch salt and oregano

Mix well. Pour into small microwave-safe bowl. (Spray the bottom with Pam.) Microwave approximately 1 minute until center is done.

Cut in half, spread each half with 1 t. mayonnaise, top with chicken and mozarella, then broil until cheese melts.

Hi! I made the bun and it was great. Thanks for the great recipe.

Glad you enjoyed it, Iris!

You can use vanilla, cinnamon, or other flavors in it along with Splenda and make a sweet muffin out of it, too.

I'm going to try the flax bun again....first time I didn't care for it but I'm willing to try it again. I'm always telling newbies if they don't like something to give it awhile and try it again.

Thanks for joining the April water challenge - this is the biggest group I've had so far so I'm really excited about it!!

Everlosing, I won't say it's a gourmet treat. You could probably make it taste a lot more Italian by using tomato sauce seasoned with basil, garlic and so forth.

But for a fast, easy, different lunch, it was great.

Carole, I added more flax seed which took away the too-eggy, wet texture of the original recipe that I used. It did make a difference.

I usually remember to drink all my water, but some days I'm a little slack. So the challenge will be great for me!

Can someone please share the bun recipe with me?

It is under the photo in the first post

I'm going to try this but am a bit concerned about flax and thyroid. Am going to post about this in thyroid forum.
