Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (about 150g) Skinless, boneless chicken breast
- 3 tablespoons Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 4 slices Whole grain bread
- 1 stalk Celery
- 0.25 small Red onion
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon, finely chopped Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 1 large Tomato
Instructions
Start by seasoning the chicken breast with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes and then dice it into small cubes.
Finely chop the celery and red onion and add them to a mixing bowl.
In the same bowl, combine low-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, parsley, remaining salt, and pepper to create a light mayo mixture.
Add the diced chicken to the bowl and gently mix everything until the chicken is well coated in the yogurt mixture.
Toast the whole grain bread slices until they are lightly crispy.
Slice the tomato into thin rounds.
Assemble the sandwiches by placing a leaf of lettuce on two slices of toast, followed by a layer of tomato slices, and then a generous portion of the chicken mixture.
Top each sandwich with the remaining toast slices, slice in half, and serve.
