Ingredients (serves 2):
4 slices of whole-wheat or oat bread
100 g cooked, shredded chicken breast
2 tablespoons plain low-fat Greek yogurt (as a mayonnaise substitute)
1 teaspoon mustard (optional)
2 tablespoons chopped bell pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped pickles (optional)
A few fresh lettuce or spinach leaves
Salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to taste
30 g mozzarella or low-fat cheese (optional)
In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken, Greek yogurt, mustard, bell pepper, and pickles. Add salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, then mix well until everything is evenly combined.
Place two slices of bread on a work surface. Spread the chicken mixture evenly over both slices. Top with lettuce or spinach leaves. If desired, sprinkle some grated cheese over the top.
Place the remaining slices of bread on top.
You can serve the snack in two ways:
Cold: If you’re in a hurry, serve the snack cold. It’s delicious this way too!
Hot: Place the sandwich in a non-stick pan or sandwich maker. If using a pan, cook over low to medium heat and cover with a lid until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted, about 2–3 minutes per side.
Cut the snack diagonally or into triangles and serve with fresh vegetables such as cucumber, tomato, and carrot.
Lower calories: Use low-carb or diet-friendly bread.
More protein: Replace the chicken with drained canned tuna mixed with Greek yogurt, or grated hard-boiled eggs.
Vegetarian: Omit the chicken and use sautéed mushrooms with garlic and parsley instead.
Bread-free: Wrap the filling in lettuce or kale leaves for a low-carb lettuce wrap.
Extra flavor: Add a little paprika or thyme to the chicken mixture.
