- Add a layer of fresh lettuce on top of the chicken salad for added crunch and flavor.
- Cover each sandwich with the top half of the roll, pressing down gently to secure the filling.
- Serve the Greek yogurt chicken salad sandwiches immediately, or refrigerate them for later enjoyment. These sandwiches can be served cold or at room temperature.
Tips
- Use Leftover Chicken: For even quicker prep, use leftover rotisserie chicken or any cooked chicken you have on hand. It saves time and adds great flavor!
- Customize Your Ingredients: Feel free to add other ingredients like diced apples, grapes, or nuts for added texture and sweetness.
- Chill Before Serving: If you have the time, let the chicken salad chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before assembling the sandwiches. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Choose the Right Bread: Opt for whole grain or artisan rolls for a healthier twist. They add a nice crunch and pair well with the creamy filling.
- Make It Ahead: This chicken salad can be prepared a day in advance. Just keep it stored in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
- Serve with a Side: Pair your sandwiches with a light salad or some fresh fruit for a complete meal that’s both nutritious and satisfying.
