Chicken Sandwiches with Cucumbers and Cantaloupe

Ingredients
  • 10 ounces of chicken, cooked and sliced thin (or canned chicken, drained)
  • 8 thin slices of cucumber
  • 8 thin slices cantaloupe
  • 8 leaves of lettuce (any type)
  • 1/4 cup light mayonnaise (Tip 1)
  • 8 slices bread (whole-grain preferred)
Directions
  1. Wash hands with soap and water.
  2. Wash produce under cold water. Cut as described in Ingredients.
  3. Spread mayo evenly over 4 slices of bread.
  4. Layer chicken, cucumber, cantaloupe, and lettuce over bread slices. Top with remaining bread.

Tip 1: For a variation, mash half an avocado or use a few tablespoons of hummus in place of the mayonnaise. Or stir in fresh or dried herbs into mayo for extra flavor.

Enjoy this sandwich with a side of yogurt topped with nuts and granola.
