Well-seasoned chicken salad sandwich

Ingredients:

  • 2 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded (pro tip: shred while warm for perfect texture!)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced (a little goes a long way—trust me!)
  • 1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 medium carrot, grated (adds color and sweetness!)
  • 1/3 cup sweet corn (drained if canned, thawed if frozen)
  • 1/3 cup peas (same as above—fresh works too if you’ve got ‘em!)
  • 6 ounces plain yogurt (about 1/2 cup, light and creamy!)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise (just enough for richness)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or cilantro, finely chopped (whichever you love more!)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Whole wheat or white sandwich bread (or, hey, get fancy with a baguette or wrap!)

How to make It

  1. Start with the chicken magic:
    Heat up that olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Toss in the garlic and onion, letting them cook until they’re soft, golden, and filling your kitchen with incredible aromas. Add the shredded chicken and season it with salt and pepper. Give it a few minutes to soak up all that flavor—it’s the base of your sandwich, so don’t rush this part!
  2. Add the veggies:
    Time to brighten things up! Stir in the corn, peas, and grated carrot. Mix it all together until it looks like a rainbow in a pan. This is where your sandwich gets its freshness and crunch.
  3. Make it creamy:
    In a separate bowl, mix the yogurt and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in the parsley or cilantro for a pop of freshness. Pour this creamy goodness over your chicken and veggies, and mix until everything is coated and irresistible. Taste it—does it need a pinch more salt or pepper? Go ahead, you’re the chef here.
  4. Assemble your masterpiece:
    Grab a slice of bread, spread a generous scoop of your chicken salad over it, and add a lettuce leaf for some crunch (optional, but so worth it). Top with another slice of bread and press gently. Feeling fancy? Cut it into triangles or rectangles.
  5. Enjoy every bite:
    You’ve done it! This sandwich is perfect as-is, but if you’re serving friends or family, pair it with chips, fruit, or a cold drink for the ultimate meal. It’s light, satisfying, and oh-so-good.

Tips and fun ideas

  • Customize it: Not a fan of mayo? Swap it for more yogurt or even some smashed avocado.
  • Sweet twist: Add a handful of dried cranberries or diced apple for a touch of sweetness.
  • Change up the bread: Try a wrap, a toasted bagel, or even a croissant. This chicken salad works with anything!
  • Meal prep win: Make the filling ahead of time and store it in the fridge—it’s even better the next day after all those flavors have mingled.

FAQs

1. Can I freeze the filling?
Yes! Store it in an airtight container and freeze for up to a month. Thaw overnight in the fridge and it’s good to go.

2. How long does the filling last in the fridge?
About 3 days in a sealed container. Bonus: it actually tastes better the next day!

3. What can I serve with this sandwich?
Chips, a fresh green salad, fruit, or a tall glass of iced tea all pair beautifully.
