Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
Add the plant-based chicken strips to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes, until they are warm and slightly golden. Remove from heat and let them cool slightly.
While the chicken strips are cooling, wash and dry the lettuce leaves, slice the tomato thinly, and peel and slice the cucumber.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled plant-based chicken strips with the mayonnaise, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the chicken strips are evenly coated.
Lay out the slices of bread on a clean surface.
On four of the bread slices, place a lettuce leaf followed by a few slices of tomato and cucumber.
Evenly distribute the chicken mayo mixture over the veggies on each slice.
Top each sandwich with another slice of bread.
Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
