Lemon Chicken Salad Sandwich
I’m always on the hunt for low fat and high protein recipes. If they are easy to take with me on the go it’s even better.
I’m gluten free, so I switched out the bread on this one. I love the switch from the mayo to non-fat Greek yoghurt as it was yummy and brought the fat way down.
Hope you like it as much as my family did. This comes to us complements of Rachael at Sass En Masse.
FYI I cooked the chicken in my instapot with her recommended spices. It was fast and easy and extra moist.

Ingredients
- 3 Chicken Breasts (Boneless, skinless) (Approx 1.5 lbs)
- 1 Cup Plain Non-fat Greek Yogurt

- ½ Cup Toasted Almonds (sliced)
- 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
- Zest of 1 Lemon

Instructions

- Once the chicken is done baking, let rest for 10 minutes.
- Shred or cube the chicken breast and add it to a large mixing bowl.

- Mix until well combined. Serve on toasted whole grain bread.
