Discovered this recipe simply from a Weight Watchers cook book, very light, healthy and flavorful sandwich.  Great Summer grilling food, easy and enjoyable by anyone.  My favorite sandwich at Red Robin is the Teriyaki Chicken burger, this is my lighter version of that, I will occasionally spread teriyaki sauce on my other half of bun...so good.  Enjoy!
