Chicken Sandwiches – A Healthy Lunch

Thursday, May 5th, 2011

Eating healthy at lunch is not always easy. It always seems convenient to just go out and grab some fast food, or something from the vending machine. With a little bit of forethought you can have a lunch that is both healthy and delicious. That is where the chicken sandwich comes in.

Now there are several different ways you can make chicken sandwiches. The easiest is probably to use sliced deli meat. This is not quite as nutritional as using baked chicken breast, but it will do in a pinch. You don’t even necessarily have to make chicken breast just for the sandwich. If you have them for dinner the night before then you can use the leftovers to make your sandwich. So assuming you have access to some good chicken, let’s take a look at three sandwiches that make for a great lunch.

BBQ Chicken Sandwich

A sandwich with a little bit of cake! Slice up your chicken breast and put them on your bread. Now add some cheddar cheese and your favorite barbecue sauce. Put this in the microwave for about a minute and you have a hot and delicious lunch.

Chicken Salad Sandwich

This sandwich assumes that you know how to make chicken salad. It is fairly easy to do, just cut up your chicken breast and add mayo, onions, and what ever else you would like to add. All you really need to do is put the chicken salad between two pieces of bread or a wrap.

Chicken Caesar Wrap

This is a very easy wrap to make. Just put your chicken breasts on a tortilla. Now add some lettuce, shredded cheese, and a bit of Caesar dressing. If you want it to be healthier, be conservative on the cheese and use a light dressing. This sandwich packs very well and will stay good for several hours.

So there are three great ideas for a chicken sandwich. Find some complete recipes and start enjoying a healthy lunch.

Classic Sandwiches

Wednesday, April 14th, 2010

Sandwiches are a popular lunch or snack food around the world. They are made by placing a filling, which may contain salad, vegetables, cheese, meat, or seafood, or some combination of these, between two or more slices of bread. Sliced bread, baguettes, bread rolls, or even muffins or bagels can be used to make the sandwich, and in many cases, the bread is toasted – indeed some types of sandwiches have hot fillings too.

Some of the most popular types of sandwich include:

* Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches – An all time kids’ favorite, although of course rather too sweet for many adults’ tastes.

* Club sandwich – A triple bread toasted sandwich containing chicken or turkey breast meat between two of the slices of toast, and a bacon, lettuce and tomato filling between the other two layers of toast.

* Tuna melt sandwich – A hot sandwich containing prepared cooked tuna (from a can), cheese, hard-boiled egg, mayonnaise and grated cheese. It can be served on bread or English muffins.

* Bacon sandwiches – Sandwiches containing bacon, often known in the United Kingdom as “bacon butties”. Variations on the basic theme, including the possible addition of fried egg (an “egg and bacon sandwich”), or mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato (a “BLT sandwich”).

* Meat sandwiches – Sandwiches containing ham, baloney, cooked sausages, and so forth. In some such sandwiches, other ingredients are included as well, for example a “cheese and ham sandwich”.

* Cheese sandwiches – Sandwiches containing cheese. Again there are many variations on the basic theme, such as adding onions, salad, or pickle relish (in the United Kingdom, Branston brand pickle is often used).

* Cucumber sandwiches – The classic Victorian English sandwich. Thin slices of cucumber between slices of buttered white bread.
