Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Once cooked, let the chicken cool slightly, then shred it using two forks.
In a large bowl, combine Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Stir until well mixed.
Add the shredded chicken, chopped celery, red onion, and parsley to the yogurt/mayo mixture. Stir well to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Toast the whole grain bread slices to your preferred crispness.
Assemble the sandwiches by laying down a bed of mixed salad greens on two slices of toasted bread. Top with the chicken mayo mixture.
Finish with the remaining slices of toasted bread, and serve immediately.
