Morning Fav

Food: Homemade Chicken Cheese "Steaks"

As healthy as hubby and I are when it comes to our food choices we definitely like to indulge... especially during the fall/winter months (aka when football begins). He actually likes to watch football and I'm in it more for the atmosphere- make some yummy food, drink some beers, scream at the TV, etc. etc. Last year I started making some of our "favorites" at home (vs. ordering out) to make things a little healthier and then I don't feel bad the next morning! One of our favorites is the "homemade chicken cheese steak". I don't have any measurements, because everything you can pretty much eyeball.

Ingredients:
* Chicken (preferably tenderloins or the thin strips)
* Shredded Cheese/Part skim or the lowest % possible
* Sliced Cheese
* Salt to taste
* Pepper to taste
* Bun/Roll

Directions:
Cook chicken on stove with dash of salt and pepper
Cube and shred chicken via knife OR for better results place in small Cuisinart mixer
Place cooked chicken in a bowl and mix in shredded cheese to taste
Put chicken/cheese mixture in microwave for 30 second intervals until well blended
Adding salt and pepper to taste
Heat Buns/Rolls
Put chicken/cheese mixture on bun/roll and place slice of cheese (1, 2, 3, etc.) to taste on top
Place sandwich in oven (on broil) to melt and crisp cheese (1-2 minutes)
