Ingredients
Original recipe (6 servings) → 6 servings
- •1.5 pounds chicken breast
- •1 cup pesto sauce
- •0.5 cup greek yogurt
- •6 ounces sun-dried tomatoes
- •1 head lettuce
- •12 slices sprouted grain bread
Directions
Trim excess fat from chicken breasts.In a large pot, add chicken and fill the pot with enough water to cover the chicken by an inch.
Add 1 tablespoon of salt and a teaspoon of pepper.Bring to a boil and reduce heat so that the liquid is still simmering - just hot enough for bubbles to barely break the surface. Cover pot and continue to cook for about 8-10 minutes, or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees.Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine pesto, Greek yogurt and 1/2 teaspoon salt then set aside. Rough chop the sun-dried tomatoes.Once cooked, remove chicken from the pot and allow to cool. Chop into 1/2-inch pieces - or adjust the size as you prefer.
Add chicken and sun-dried tomatoes to the yogurt/pesto mixture, and combine thoroughly.Rinse/dry lettuce, then build sandwiches to your liking using the sun-dried pesto chicken, lettuce, and sprouted grain bread.Note: When mixing the yogurt and pesto it may seem that the two ingredients separate. This won't impact the finished product - when everything is mixed it comes together nicely. To minimize this effect you can blend the two ingredients in a food processor for a few minutes.
