Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (~150g) Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast
- 2 tablespoons Low-Fat Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Greek Yogurt (non-fat)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon Mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1 piece, finely chopped Celery Stalk
- 4 slices Whole Wheat Bread
- 2 pieces Lettuce Leaves
- 1 small, thinly sliced Tomato
- 2 cups Water
Instructions
Start by poaching the chicken breast. Place the chicken breast in a small saucepan and cover with 2 cups of water.
Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for 8-10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the saucepan and let it cool. Once cooled, shred the chicken breast using two forks.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the low-fat mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well-combined.
Add the shredded chicken and chopped celery to the bowl. Stir well to ensure the chicken is evenly coated with the mayo mixture.
Toast the slices of whole wheat bread lightly in a toaster or on a skillet over medium heat.
To assemble the sandwich, place a lettuce leaf on one slice of toasted bread, add half of the chicken mixture on top, and layer with tomato slices. Top with another slice of bread to close the sandwich.
Repeat the assembly process for the second sandwich.
Cut the sandwiches diagonally and serve immediately for a fresh, healthy meal.
