Veggie Chipotle Chick’n Sandwiches
Sandwiches get a bad reputation - but actually, they can be a perfectly well-balanced and healthy lunch!
As a dietitian, here’s what I’d look for in a well-balanced sandwich: protein, crisp veggies, fibre and a flavourful seasoning.
This veggie chipotle chick’n sandwich ticks all those boxes.
Flavourful, crunchy and satisfying - it’s exactly what you need for a grab-and-go lunch.
Ingredients (Serves 3)
200g cooked plant-based chick’n
150g sweetcorn
2 jarred roasted peppers
15g parsley
40g cheese*
80g unsweetened plain yogurt (I used soya)
30g mayonnaise*
1 tsp chipotle paste (more to taste)
Pinch of salt (to taste, if needed - will depend on the brand of chick’n used)
*vegan options also work!
To serve: bread of choice, lettuce, extra spread of yogurt / mayo
Recipe
Cook the plant-based chicken as per packet instructions. Allow to cool completely.
Mix all ingredients together well in a large bowl.
Serve on your choice of bread, with some added lettuce for crunch.
The sandwich filling lasts for up to 3 days in the fridge for a few days of lunches!
You can also eat it with pita, crackers, or an alternative carbohydrate of choice.
