Spicy Shredded Chicken Sandwich
Sourdough

A low-calorie, high-protein spicy shredded chicken sandwich featuring juicy chicken breast, crisp lettuce, tomato, and melted reduced-fat cheese on toasted sourdough.

Ingredients

• 1 chicken breast
• 2 slices sourdough bread
• 2 slices reduced-fat cheese
• 1 leaf lettuce
• 2 slices red tomato
• 1 tbsp mayonnaise
• 1 tbsp sriracha sauce
• 1 pinch sea salt
• 1 pinch black pepper
• 1 tsp olive oil

Instructions

1. 1Boil the chicken breast

   

   Place the chicken breast into a pot of boiling water and cook until fully done.

   Tip: Ensure the chicken breast is cooked completely through before shredding.
2. 2Shred the chicken

   

   Transfer the cooked chicken breast to a metal tray and use a fork to shred it finely.

   Tip: Shredding while warm makes the process easier.
3. 3Season the shredded chicken

   

   Add sea salt, black pepper, mayonnaise, and sriracha sauce directly onto the shredded chicken.

   Tip: Adjust the amount of sriracha sauce according to your preferred spice level.
4. 4Mix everything together

   

   Using gloved hands, thoroughly mix the shredded chicken and all the seasonings together until well combined.

   Tip: Make sure the sauces and spices coat all the chicken shreds evenly.
5. 5Prep the sourdough bread

   

   Prepare two slices of sourdough bread on a plate and drizzle olive oil over them.

   Tip: A light drizzle of olive oil helps achieve a golden, crispy texture when toasted.
6. 6Assemble the sandwich layers

   

   Start assembling the sandwich by placing a fresh layer of lettuce onto the sourdough bread slice.

   Tip: Pat the lettuce dry so the bread does not get soggy.
7. 7Add reduced-fat cheese

   

   Place two slices of reduced-fat cheese directly on top of the bed of lettuce on the sourdough bread.

   Tip: Reduced-fat cheese melts well while helping keep the overall calorie count low.
8. 8Add spicy shredded chicken

   

   Take a generous portion of the seasoned spicy shredded chicken and place it evenly on top of the cheese slices.

   Tip: Ensure the chicken is well-mixed with sriracha and mayonnaise for an even distribution of flavor.
9. 9Arrange tomato slices

   

   Layer fresh slices of red tomato neatly over the spicy shredded chicken.

   Tip: Pat the tomato slices lightly with a paper towel if they are too juicy to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
10. 10Toast the sandwich

    

    Place the fully assembled sandwich into a frying pan and toast on low heat for about 1 minute per side until golden brown and flipped.

    Tip: Keep the heat low so the cheese melts thoroughly without burning the sourdough bread.
