Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 0.5 cups Shelled pistachios
- 0.25 cups Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cups Greek yogurt
- 1 medium Celery stalk
- 2 stalks Green onion
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 cups Arugula leaves
- 4 slices Sourdough bread slices
- 2 tablespoons Softened butter
Instructions
Start by chopping the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Roughly chop the shelled pistachios and add them to the bowl with the chicken.
Finely dice the celery stalk and thinly slice the green onions. Add these to the mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, salt, and black pepper to create a creamy dressing.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and stir well to evenly coat all ingredients.
Lightly butter one side of each sourdough bread slice.
To assemble each sandwich, place a handful of arugula leaves on the unbuttered side of one bread slice, then layer about half of the chicken-pistachio mixture on top of the arugula.
Top with another slice of bread, buttered side facing out.
If desired, grill the sandwich in a skillet over medium heat until the bread is golden brown and slightly crisp, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately or wrap them for later enjoyment.
