Chicken Salad Sandwich

This sandwich is perfect for any day!

This healthy chicken salad sandwich is the perfect summer lunch with tons of health benefits to boot. We like the added bok choy for  a little crunch and a boost of nutrients from a veggie. Red grapes add a hint of sweetness and walnuts are crunch and provide many health benefits, including omega-3s. This healthy fat improves cholesterol levels and contains plenty of antioxidants that fight numerous diseases.

Chicken salad can be a hit or miss item. Many chicken salad recipes are filled with saturated fats and packed with calories, but not this one! This is one chicken sandwich that tastes like an indulgent, but is far from it. The addition of bok choy, red grapes, and walnuts makes it even healthier.

Salads are a great mix for sandwiches, but you can also top a traditional salad with greens and other fresh veggies with this recipe. Add leafy dark greens, carrots, tomatoes, and cucumbers, and this chicken salad is made even healthier. Be sure to choose a healthy whole grain bread option, packed with fiber and featuring a wholesome, nutty taste. A fresh, chewy loaf of whole grain bread pairs perfectly with the light, creamy taste of this chicken salad.

  4. Is 1/2 cup of mayonnaise correct in this recipe?..seems like a lot for just a half chicken breast. Thanks

    1. Pearl E, It is correct because it's for 2 cups salad. You can increase the amount of chicken and/or decrease the amount of mayonnaise to suit your personal preference. Enjoy:).

    1. Anettee, I would leave it out. It adds an extra superfood boost but isn’t necessary for taste. 🙂
