So, you know those days when you’re looking for something quick, easy, and delicious to throw together for lunch? I got you covered. Let’s talk about the grilled chicken sandwich that’s been my go-to lately. Seriously, it’s like a little taste of heaven, but without the “I spent hours in the kitchen” vibe.
First things first, let’s talk about the chicken. I’ve been using Mrs. Dash Chicken Seasoning. If you haven’t tried it yet, do yourself a favor and grab it next time you’re at the store. It’s got all the right flavors, and guess what? No salt, so you get all the flavor without the guilt. I coat my chicken breast with it, throw it on the grill (or grill pan, because I’m not always about the outdoor life), and let it get that perfect golden color. It’s the kind of chicken that makes you feel fancy without the need for a culinary degree.
Now, I can’t just have a plain ol’ chicken breast sitting on a bun. That would be boring. This sandwich gets some serious TLC. I top that grilled beauty with a nice slice of Swiss cheese—melted just enough so it’s gooey, but not dripping down your face. We’re going for classy, not messy.
Next comes my favorite part: Dijon mustard. I don’t know what it is about Dijon, but it just elevates everything. I spread a little on the bun, and I’m telling you, it’s like a burst of flavor that makes everything pop. It’s tangy, a little spicy, and it just works. If you’re feeling extra fancy, you can even drizzle a little on the chicken. But, no judgment if you prefer a more mild condiment situation, like mayo. Do you, boo.
Now, we can’t forget the veggies. Red onion, lettuce, and tomato give that crisp, fresh bite that cuts through the richness of the cheese and mustard. The onions give a little zing, and the tomatoes bring that juicy freshness. It’s like a little garden party happening right on your sandwich.
And then, the bread. I love a whole wheat bun for that little extra dose of I’m being healthy, but it’s soft enough to still feel like you’re indulging. You know, balance. Plus, it holds everything together without falling apart in your hands. No soggy sandwich here, folks.
Okay, okay, now I know we all want a side to go with our sandwich, and you better believe I’m not just reaching for any old bag of chips. No, no. I’ve got a special place in my heart for Sun Chips—specifically, the French Onion flavor. The crunch. The flavor. They’re the perfect little salty companion to your already perfect sandwich. Trust me, one bite and you’ll be hooked.
So, to recap: grilled chicken seasoned with Mrs. Dash, topped with Swiss cheese, Dijon mustard, red onion, tomato, and lettuce on a whole wheat bun. Pair it with those crispy, French Onion Sun Chips, and you’ve got yourself a lunch that’s basically perfect in every way.
And don’t be surprised if your kids start eyeing your plate and asking for a bite (you can tell them “no” or offer them the last chip, up to you). Either way, you’re winning.
