Health benefits of Chicken Chivito Sandwich

Lemons can help to prevent oxidative damage to the body, which women with PCOS are often susceptible to. Lemons are also rich in vitamin C, flavonoids, and other antioxidants. They can potentially support the immune system and have other health benefits. Lemons also have a low glycemic index, so they should not cause a rapid rise in blood sugar when consumed in natural form.

Ingredients

1 lemon
1/2 c. pitted kalamata olives
1/2 c. pitted picholine or green olives
2 tbsp. mayonnaise
2 tsp. sherry vinegar
1 tsp. chopped fresh thyme leaves
4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
5 tbsp. olive oil
4 sandwich rolls

In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil on medium. Add eggs; cook 1 minute. Turn eggs over; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until yolks are desired doneness. Sprinkle each egg with pinch of salt and black pepper.
