Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 0.25 cup light mayonnaise
- 2 pieces celery stalks, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slices whole grain bread
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 1 piece tomato, sliced
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Step 2
Bake the chicken breasts in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until fully cooked and no longer pink in the center. Allow to cool slightly.
Step 3
While the chicken is cooling, prepare the dressing by combining Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Stir until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 4
Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, chop it into small, bite-sized pieces.
Step 5
Add the chopped chicken, celery, and red onion into the prepared dressing. Mix thoroughly to ensure the chicken is coated evenly with the dressing.
Step 6
Lay out the slices of whole grain bread. Place a lettuce leaf on half of the slices, followed by the chicken salad mixture.
Step 7
Top the chicken salad with a slice or two of fresh tomato, then cover with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
Step 8
Slice sandwiches in half if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy your high protein classic chicken salad sandwich!
