Ingredients:
Instructions:
- 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.
- Once the chicken has cooled down enough to handle, use two forks to shred the chicken breast into thin strips.
- Wash the lettuce leaf thoroughly under cold water.
- Pat it dry with a paper towel or use a salad spinner to remove excess water.
- 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.
- Top the sandwich with the second slice of whole-wheat bread.
- Press down gently to ensure all the ingredients stick together.
- 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!
