Open-Faced Chicken Salad Sandwich
Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 10 mins
Difficulty: Easy
Servings: 4 Servings

Generally speaking, I try not to eat sandwiches for lunch. I’m not carbo-phobic, but bread is one of the densest sources of calories among my usual lunch options. Sometimes, though, I get a strong sandwich craving. When that happens, I try to split the difference between sandwich and no-sandwich by making it open-faced, one piece of toast with the ingredients on top, eaten with a knife and fork.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon minced shallot
  • 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
  • 1 cup shredded chicken breast, from a rotisserie chicken
  • 1 slice whole grain bread, toasted
  • 2 tablespoons raw pumpkin seeds
  • Fresh romaine lettuce, optional

Instructions

  1. In a small mixing bowl, combine the shallot, mayonnaise, and Greek yogurt. Stir to combine. Add the shredded chicken and fold it into the dressing.
  2. Pile the chicken mixture on to the toast, and top with raw pumpkin seeds.
