Weight Watchers Chicken Salad Sandwich
Ingredients:
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast, chopped or shredded
- 1/2 cup celery, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp light mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- 8 slices whole wheat bread
- Lettuce leaves (optional)
- Tomato slices (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare Chicken: If you haven’t cooked the chicken already, you can poach, grill, or bake it until fully cooked. Let it cool and then chop or shred it.
- Mix Salad: In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, celery, red onion, Greek yogurt, light mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. If using, fold in the chopped parsley.
- Assemble Sandwich: Lay out the whole wheat bread slices. Spoon the chicken salad mixture onto four of the bread slices. If desired, add lettuce leaves and tomato slices on top of the chicken salad. Place the remaining bread slices on top to form sandwiches.
- Serve: Cut the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
