Crunchy, creamy, cool, flavorful, tangy, and gluten-free...that is how I describe this easy Greek-style meal. Three parts to this creation: the chicken sandwich, the Greek sauce (Tzatziki), and the Greek-style crunchy salad. To make the sandwich, I simply warmed Udi's gluten-free sandwich bread, and a pre-cooked chicken breast lightly seasoned with sea salt and pepper. To create the sauce, I combined Lowfat Plain Greek-Style Yogurt, lemon juice, sea salt, fresh pepper, fresh smashed and chopped garlic, and English cucumbers (both finely chopped and some smashed). To get a nice garlic-infused flavor in a hurry, I made a paste using rough sea salt and fresh garlic and pressed/smooshed them between the cutting board and the back of a large stainless steel spoon before adding it to the mixture. Finally, for the best part (in my opinion), the crunchy salad...chopped cucumbers, tomatoes (I used Roma tomatoes and English Cucumbers), Rice vinegar, olive oil, Trader Joe's Feta Cheese (I crumbled some from a large whole block), sea salt, pepper and lemon juice. My favorite way to eat this is to take the cucumber sauce and spread it over the chicken, top that with the tomato cucumber salad, and then put the sandwich back together and enjoy all the textures, flavors, and temperatures compliment each other. And this follows my general rule about food- the messier it is to eat it, the better it usually tastes! Enjoy!
Looks very yummy indeed!!!!
