Tips for the Perfect chicken Mayo Sandwich
Chicken: Use boiled, roasted, or leftover cooked chicken. Avoid fried chicken to keep it healthy.
Mayonnaise: Use Greek yogurt as a substitute for a lighter, protein-rich option.
Crunch Factor: Add cucumber slices, bell peppers, or celery for texture.
Herbs & Spices: Fresh parsley, dill, or a pinch of paprika enhances flavor.
Storage: chicken mayo can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for 1–2 days. Avoid keeping sandwiches assembled for too long to prevent soggy bread.
Health Benefits
Protein-Rich: chicken provides lean protein, essential for muscle repair and satiety.
Good Fats: Using olive oil-based mayo or Greek yogurt adds healthy fats.
Vitamins & Minerals: Adding veggies like lettuce, tomato, and celery boosts fiber, vitamins A, C, and K, and minerals like potassium.
Energy Boost: Whole wheat or multigrain bread gives complex carbs for sustained energy.
Low-Calorie Options: Using low-fat mayo or yogurt reduces calories and saturated fat while maintaining flavor.
