Chicken mayo sandwich with lettuce on whole-wheat bread

This Chicken Mayo Sandwich with Lettuce on Whole-Wheat Bread is a healthy and satisfying option for lunch or a light dinner. With tender chicken, crisp lettuce, and creamy mayonnaise, all nestled between slices of nutritious whole-wheat bread, it's a perfect blend of flavors and textures.

Ingredients:

1 tbsp vegetable oil
14g
1 chicken breasts
120g
1 leaf lettuce
16g
1 tbsp mayonnaise salad dressing
16g
2 slices whole-wheat bread
54g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:
- Begin by heating the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- While the oil is heating up, season the chicken breast with a pinch of salt and pepper (optional).
- Once the oil is hot, place the chicken breast in the skillet.
- Cook the chicken breast for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is no longer pink inside.
- Remove the chicken breast from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes to cool slightly.
2. Shred the Chicken:
- Once the chicken has cooled down enough to handle, use two forks to shred the chicken breast into thin strips.
3. Prepare Lettuce:
- Wash the lettuce leaf thoroughly under cold water.
- Pat it dry with a paper towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
4. Assemble the Sandwich:
- Lay out the two slices of whole-wheat bread on a clean surface.
- Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise salad dressing evenly on one slice of bread.
- Place the shredded chicken breast on top of the mayonnaise-covered slice.
- Add the lettuce leaf over the shredded chicken.
5. Finish the Sandwich:
- Top the sandwich with the second slice of whole-wheat bread.
- Press down gently to ensure all the ingredients stick together.
6. Serving:
- Slice the sandwich in half diagonally for easier handling and serve immediately.
- Optionally, you can serve it with a side of fresh fruit, a small salad, or some potato chips.

Tips:

- For a more flavorful chicken, consider marinating it in your favorite spices or herbs for 30 minutes before cooking.

- Toast the whole-wheat bread slices for a bit of extra crunch and flavor.

- If you prefer a lighter version, use a low-fat or Greek yogurt-based mayonnaise.

- Add slices of tomato or cucumber for extra freshness and a burst of color.

With just a few simple ingredients and minimal preparation time, you can enjoy a delicious and nutritious Chicken Mayo Sandwich with Lettuce on Whole-Wheat Bread. It's perfect for a quick meal that doesn't compromise on taste or health!
