Low Fat Chipotle Chicken Melt

1 (7 ounce) can chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
3 tablespoons light mayonnaise
1 1/2 teaspoons water
4 (3 ounce) submarine or hoagie rolls, split lengthwise
4 (4 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking spray
4 (1/2 ounce) slices Havarti or Monterey jack cheese
2 cups packaged coleslaw mix or shredded cabbage

Remove 1 chile from can; reserve remaining chiles and sauce for another use. Remove and discard chile stem and seeds; finely chop chile. Combine chile, mayonnaise and water in a small bowl. Spread about 1 tablespoon chile mixture evenly over top half of rolls.

Place each chicken breast half between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap; pound to 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Sprinkle each evenly with salt and pepper.

Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add chicken; saute 3 minutes per side or until done. Remove chicken from pan; top each with a slice of cheese. Arrange coleslaw mix over bottom half of rolls; top with chicken and remaining half.

Serve immediately.
