Roasted onions still have a little crunch and are slightly caramelized, giving this sandwich a vivid flavor and melding perfectly with the other ingredients. A sandwich so special, you can serve it to guests!

8 slices whole grain bread (toast if you want)
1 medium eggplant, sliced into 1/2 inch slices
1 medium size onion, sliced into 1/2-inch slices
1 teaspoon of olive oil or olive oil spray
1/4 teaspoon salt
freshly ground pepper
2 cups arugula
2 teaspoons light mayonnaise (such as Hellmann's Light)
2 cups skinless rotisserie chicken, cut off the bone and sliced

DIRECTIONS
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat eggplant and onion with olive oil; salt and pepper to taste.

  2. Roast until slightly browned and tender; approximately 20 minutes.

  3. Assemble sandwiches by placing bread on plate, spread with 1/4 teaspoon mayonnaise, top with sliced chicken, follow with arugula, then eggplant, then roasted onion. Top with slice of bread spread with 1/4 teaspoon mayonnaise. Eat immediately.

Round out the meal with a small salad, lightly dressed.
