Ingredients
1 tablespoon minced shallot
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Greek yogurt
1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken breast
1 slice whole grain bread, toasted
2 tablespoons raw pumpkin seeds
Fresh romaine lettuce, optional
Directions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the minced shallot, mayonnaise, and Greek yogurt. Stir until well blended.
Add the shredded rotisserie chicken breast to the mixture and fold gently until the chicken is evenly coated and combined.
Toast the whole grain bread slices until golden and crispy.
Spread the chicken salad mixture evenly onto each toasted bread slice.
Top each sandwich with fresh romaine lettuce leaves if desired.
Sprinkle the raw pumpkin seeds over the top of each sandwich for crunch and nutrition.
Serve immediately while the bread is still warm.
Comments
Every ingredient is standard stock at Charlotte chains—shallot, mayo, Greek yogurt, chicken breast, whole grain bread, pumpkin seeds, and romaine are all easily found at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Kroger, or Walmart without a second stop. Cost per serving lands around $2.50–$3.00, driven mainly by the chicken breast and the Greek yogurt base, which is reasonable for a protein-forward lunch. The stated 15 minutes is honest if you're starting with cooked chicken; if not, add 20–25 minutes for poaching or baking, so clarify that assumption. This is a fussy dish in execution—it requires chopping, mixing, and careful assembly—but it's light, reheats poorly (bread gets soggy), and works best as same-night lunch or dinner.
