The Grain Foods Foundation, (not to be confused with People for the Ethical Treatment of Twinkies), asked people across the country to send in their recipe for America's Healthy Sandwich Showdown, with the added challenge that it also be great tasting. (Sorry, Tofurkey and Alfalfa Sprouts on Rice Cakes.)

Tracey McCaughey of Ardmore, PA beat out over 1200 other entries with her Grilled Chicken with Pomegranate and Caramelized Onion Reduction and Goat Cheese. (It's much easier to make than it is to say.) Give it a try. Your body, and your taste buds, will thank you.

Grilled Chicken with Pomegranate & Caramelized Onion Reduction and Goat Cheese

4 whole grain Kaiser rolls
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 large onions, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced, about 3 cups
1 1/2 cups pomegranate juice
1/4 cup honey
2 chicken breasts
3 ounces creamy goat cheese
Leaves of 1 romaine heart

1. To make the Pomegranate & Caramelized Onion Reduction: In a medium skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil until warm and add the onion. Cook onion on med-low heat for about 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until caramelized. Add the pomegranate juice and honey, and cook for about 10 minutes until reduced to about 3/4 cup.

2. While sauce is reducing, heat grill pan on medium heat and grill chicken breasts until done, about 10 minutes. Slice each breast in half lengthwise.

3. Open rolls and spread goat cheese evenly on the bottom half of each roll. Place a couple leaves of lettuce on top of the goat cheese and top lettuce with grilled chicken breasts. Spoon pomegranate reduction over chicken breasts and the other half of the Kaiser roll. Top chicken breasts with roll. Serve on a bed of multivitamins.
(I made that last part up.)
