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

Directions

Step 1

Start by seasoning the chicken breast with olive oil, a pinch of salt, and pepper.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Let the chicken rest for a few minutes and then dice it into small cubes.

Step 4

Finely chop the celery and red onion and add them to a mixing bowl.

Step 5

In the same bowl, combine low-fat Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, parsley, remaining salt, and pepper to create a light mayo mixture.

Step 6

Add the diced chicken to the bowl and gently mix everything until the chicken is well coated in the yogurt mixture.

Step 7

Toast the whole grain bread slices until they are lightly crispy.

Step 8

Slice the tomato into thin rounds.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Top each sandwich with the remaining toast slices, slice in half, and serve.
