Last night I made toasted sandwiches for dinner.  I don’t often eat sandwiches at dinner but sometimes I don’t feel like fussing so a healthy sandwich was just the key to keeping our appetites appeased.

I used leftover chicken from the night before using some dark and white meat and the sandwiches were delicious.

Here’s what I came up with.

• 2 cups of cooked chicken, cubed
• 3/4 cup of light mayonnaise
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 2 Tbsp fresh dill leaves, finely chopped
• ¼ cup of red pepper, finely diced
• Fresh ground pepper, to taste
• Salt, to taste
• Red onion, sliced thinly
• Leaf lettuce
• 4 slices of sprouted grain bread or whole grain bread, toasted
• Butter (optional) for spreading on toast

1. Combine the first 8 ingredients in a glass or plastic bowl.
2. Toast the bread and spread a small amount of butter on each toast (if you are using butter)
3. Layer the ingredients on the toast starting with the chicken mixture, the onion slices and top with lettuce and sandwich together with another toast.

You can always substitute the type of bread.  This filling works well using pita pockets and tortilla wraps.  It’s really up to you.
