Ingredients
- 2 pieces Whole wheat bread slices
- 100 grams Cooked chicken breast, shredded or sliced
- 2 tablespoons Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Fresh spinach leaves
- 0.5 piece Tomato, sliced
- 0.25 piece Avocado, sliced
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional, for toasting)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the low-fat Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to make a flavorful spread.
Lay out the two slices of whole wheat bread. Spread the yogurt-mustard mixture evenly on one side of each slice.
Place the shredded or sliced cooked chicken breast on top of one slice of bread.
Add a layer of fresh spinach leaves on top of the chicken.
Top the spinach with tomato slices and avocado slices for extra freshness and creaminess.
Optional: Lightly drizzle olive oil on the outer sides of the bread slices if you plan to toast the sandwich.
Place the second slice of bread on top (spread side down) to close the sandwich.
If desired, heat a skillet over medium heat and toast the sandwich for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and heated through.
Cut the sandwich in half for easy eating, and serve immediately.
