Poached chicken sandwich with salad, hummus & yogurt dill dressing

This delicious and healthy sandwich which is sure to be a hit is courtesy of Dr Joanna McMillan.

Ingredients (serves 1)

Poached chicken
Yoghurt dill dressing
2 slices Whole grain bread
Few leaves Baby spinach
6 slices Cucumber
2 slices Beetroot
Hummus

Method

Make a fresh stock using a whole chicken and then shred the poached chicken meat to use in salads and sandwiches through the week. Refer to recipe 'Poached chicken for sandwiches'.
Mix a tbsp of natural yoghurt with a tsp of finely chopped dill, a squeeze of lemon and freshly ground black pepper.
Spread one slice of bread with hummus. Top with spinach, sliced beetroot, finely sliced cucumber, shredded poached chicken and drizzle with the yoghurt dill dressing.
Finish with another slice of bread. Cut diagonally in half and enjoy! Serve with a generous helping of salad.

Notes

Tip: If taking this sandwich to work, put the yoghurt dressing in a separate small pot, keep chilled and add just before eating. No one likes a soggy sandwich!

Nice as a salad as well. Easy to make it vegetarian with a poached egg or some feta.

This looks so yum and delicious. I love the depth of the filling. I don’t imagine you’d be hungry after this sandwich.

Such a healthy lunch – and could be eaten as a salad with a slice of bread rather than a sanswich if you wanted.

I love the look and sound of this. I’ve never poached chicken before, but it sounds like a great option for sandwich fillings.

I am a bit of a hummus nut and love to eat it on sandwiches with varying other ingredients. My friends thought me weird, now I can show them this delicious idea and prove to them I’m not so weird after all.
