Introduction

This is a family favorite that my kids ask for again and again. I started making it a few years ago when I was trying to lose weight, but I can't remember where I got it from.

Ingredients

10 oz skinless, boneless chicken breast

2 garlic cloves, minced

3/4 tsp dried oregano leaves

3/4 tsp ground cumin

(4) 2oz hamburger buns

1/4 cup medium or hot salsa

2 cups shredded lettuce

2 cups diced tomatoes

3/4 cups Kraft 2% Shredded Mexican Cheese

1/4 cup light sour cream

Directions

In a medium saucepan, combine garlic, oregano, cumin and 1 cup water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low; simmer, covered for 10-12 minutes until chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when poked with a fork. With slotted spoon, remove chicken from saucepan; reserve cooking liquid. Set chicken aside to cool. With fork, shred the chicken.

Cook reserved liquid over high heat 1-2 minutes, until reduced in volume to about 1/4 cup. Add shredded chicken; stir to coat. Remove from heat.

To assemble sandwiches, place one roll bottom onto each of four plates. Spread each with 1 Tbsp salsa; top with 1/4 of the chicken mixture, lettuce, tomato, cheese and 1 Tbsp sour cream. Top with top of roll.
