Healthy Recipes offers this incredible, edible sandwich with an Oriental flair.
I love how this recipe uses green Chinese cabbage (also called Napa cabbage), which you can find in almost any large grocery store. It is much finer cabbage than our regular bulky, heavy cabbage.
To top it off, this recipe uses garlic, ginger root and sesame seeds and for a hit, you can use hot chili pepper in the marinade. You will grow to like it, and it has many healthy benefits, such as pain reliever, digestion aid and adds to the taste.
INGREDIENTS:
4 large boneless chicken breast halves, rinsed and cooked in a marinade
Marinade:
Water, soy sauce (Kikkoman is healthy), sesame seeds, ginger root or ginger, extra-virgin olive oil, garlic and red pepper (1 tsp hot chili pepper paste).
NOW FOLLOW ME:
Drain chicken, and make marinade by combining water, soy sauce, sesame seeds, ginger root, shredded or ginger, olive oil, garlic and pepper, beef steak tomatoes for later.
Marinate the chicken breasts overnight.
Grill next day for 15 to 20 minutes until chicken is not pink anywhere. NOTE: I make these chicken breasts and marinate them, cook them in the oven – in a baking dish covered partly with aluminum foil, for 45 minutes at 325F degrees. Let chicken breasts cool and serve or, freeze them, once they have cooled. Pop them out in the morning to let them thaw and voila – make my sandwiches for lunch or dinner.
To serve, place shredded Chinese cabbage (alternative is fresh, crisp Romaine lettuce) on Whole Wheat Kaiser Bun. Top chicken breasts with beefsteak tomatoes.
Garnish with a crispy dill or Kosher pickle and serve.
Healthy Recipe serves 4 people. Yummy!

There are some recipes that we just have to put into the Healthy Recipes Collection. Welsh Rarebit is one of these.
I have yet to see a recipe for Welsh Rarebit, in a Recipe book, yet it is so tasty, that I feel we must offer it to you. It is nutritious, with whole grain bread, protein in the cheese (light), cayenne pepper and freshly ground pepper, and there is one egg in the recipe.
INGREDIENTS:
4 slices whole grain bread
1 tbsp butter
1/2 lb light Cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 tsp dry mustard
Pinch of cayenne pepper
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup skim milk or 1% milk
1 egg well beaten.
Sliced tomatoes and very crispy bacon (optional)
FOLLOW ME:
Using a double boiler, melt 1 tbsp butter.
Add shredded light Cheddar cheese, dry mustard and pepper.
Stir in 1/2 cup milk; continue stirring until the cheese is well blended.
Stir constantly, and as the cheese melts, stir in 1/2 cup 1% milk.
Slowly add beaten egg, stirring briskly until it has blended into hot cheese sauce.
Place toast in toaster.
Pour cheese sauce on toast immediately; garnish with crispy bacon and tomato slices.
