1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
8 slices hearty Italian bread, cut into 1/2-inch slices (bread slices are approximatedly 3 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches)
2 left-over boneless grilled chicken breasts or 8 ounces ready-prepared grilled chicken, sliced
1/2 medium red onion, sliced
6 ounces grated sharp or extra-sharp white Cheddar cheese
2 slices of cooked ham
6 tablespoons honey-based barbecue sauce
1/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
Preparation:
Preheat a covered grill or non-stick skillet for five minutes. Spray with non-stick cooking spray. Combine mayonnaise and grated Parmesan in small bowl. Arrange bread slices on cutting board and spread approximately one tablespoon of Parmesan-mayo mixture on four of the bread slices.
Top each with several slices of chicken, onion, 1/2 cheddar cheese and one bacon slice. Spread remaining slices of bread with 1 1/2 tablespoons of barbecue sauce. Assemble sandwiches.
Cook sandwiches two at a time in covered grill until bread is golden and cheese is melted. Remove from grill and cut into quarters. Serve with a side of additional barbecue sauce if desired.
Note: If you do not have a covered grill, cook sandwiches in a non-stick skillet until lightly browned, about three minutes on each side.
