Cold sandwiches that you can prepare and pack with a few simple ingredients, or that you can take with you when you need a quick meal at home, make life easier. One of the easiest is the boiled cold chicken sandwich. Enjoy your meal!
Wash the skinless chicken breasts, add enough hot water to cover them and put them on the stove.
Peel the onion and cut it into four. Add salt, pepper, bay leaves and onions to the chicken and cook until they are shredded (approximately 30 minutes).
Take the cooked chicken out onto a plate, cool it and shred it with a fork or with your hands. (If you have leftover chicken from a previous meal in your cupboard, you can shred it and use it in this sandwich.)
For the sauce, mix mayonnaise and yogurt with finely chopped spring onions and pickled gherkins. Season with a few drops of lemon, salt and pepper.
Wash the lettuce leaves and dry them with a paper towel. Spread half of the sauce on two slices of bread. Place the shredded and cooled chicken meat on the sauced breads.
Cover chicken meat with lettuce leaves. Cover the sandwiches with the remaining mayonnaise dressing on the inside of the other two slices and cut them in half with a sharp knife. Enjoy your meal!
Note: If you are going to consume the sandwiches later, wrap the breads in cling film without breaking them and store them in the refrigerator.

Chicken Breast:

It pairs excellently with broccoli, asparagus, quinoa, and fresh herbs.
Toast Bread:
Toast bread, with its light texture, is indispensable for breakfasts and quick snacks. Thanks to its carbohydrate content, it provides fast and effective energy to the body. Whole wheat options are rich in fiber, supporting digestive health and promoting a long-lasting feeling of fullness, which can help stabilize blood sugar. It pairs perfectly with ingredients like cheese, ham, tomatoes, and greens. Its easy preparation makes it a staple for practical meals.
Mayonnaise:
Mayonnaise is a creamy emulsion sauce made by blending egg yolks, vegetable oil, vinegar or lemon juice, and seasonings. Thanks to its healthy fat content, it can enhance the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K. Lecithin from egg yolks provides choline, an essential nutrient for brain function. With its high energy content, it serves as a quick energy source and promotes satiety. It pairs perfectly with french fries, sandwiches, salads, and various meat dishes.
Dry Onion:
Dry onion is a kitchen staple and a powerful antioxidant source. Its quercetin content helps protect the body against free radicals, reduces inflammation, and may support heart health. Rich in Vitamins C and B6, and manganese, it strengthens the immune system. Its prebiotic fibers contribute to digestive health. It is widely used in dishes ranging from meat dishes to vegetable sautés, pilafs, and soups. It pairs perfectly with garlic, tomatoes, peppers, and red meat.
Grain Black Pepper:
Whole black peppercorns, thanks to their main component piperine, enhance the bioavailability of nutrients (e.g., curcumin) and aid digestion, acting as a potent antioxidant. They are also known for their anti-inflammatory effects and may help boost metabolism. They achieve unique flavor harmony with various dishes, including red meat, poultry, fish, vegetable meals, soups, salads, and even some fruit platters. A versatile spice in the kitchen.
Bay Leaf:
Bay Leaf is a potent spice that can aid digestion, helping to reduce gas and bloating. Rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, it contributes to overall well-being. It's widely used in soups, stews, meat dishes, and legumes to add aromatic depth. It pairs exceptionally well with tomatoes, garlic, and thyme. While enhancing the dish's flavor, it leaves subtle bitter and woody notes.
Strained Yogurt:
Strained Yogurt is a thick, protein-rich dairy product obtained by removing its whey. Its high protein content is excellent for muscle development and sustained satiety. The straining process can lower lactose levels, potentially making it easier to digest for some. It's a good source of probiotics that support gut microbiota and calcium essential for strong bones. It pairs perfectly with garlic, olive oil, and fresh mint in savory appetizers, or with honey and fruits for breakfast or dessert.
Lemon Juice:
Lemon juice, rich in Vitamin C, boosts immunity and supports collagen synthesis for skin health. Its citrate content may help prevent kidney stone formation. A natural antioxidant, it reduces inflammation. It aids digestion by stimulating liver bile production. Added to water, it offers a detoxifying effect. Pairs perfectly with fish, chicken, salads, soups, marinades, and desserts, adding a refreshing and flavorful touch.
Fresh Onion:
Spring onion, a low-calorie vegetable, is a rich source of vitamins K and C. It supports bone health, aids blood clotting, and boosts the immune system. Its antioxidants protect the body against free radicals. Its fibrous nature supports digestion. It adds a refreshing flavor, especially in salads, omelets, soups, traditional Turkish dishes like 'cacık' and 'piyaz,' and pairs wonderfully with grilled meats and fish.
Pickled Cucumber:
Gherkin pickle, with its fermented structure, contains probiotics that support gut health. Its vinegar content can help balance blood sugar, while its antioxidants protect the body against free radicals. It also provides electrolyte support through its mineral content. It's indispensable for meat dishes, sandwiches, and mezze platters. It also pairs wonderfully with french fries.
Lettuce:
Lettuce, with its high water and fiber content, supports digestion and contributes to gut health. While Vitamin K strengthens bone health, Vitamin A is crucial for eye health. It is also rich in minerals like folate and potassium, which aid in the body's overall balance. It pairs wonderfully with tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, and olive oil in fresh salads. Additionally, it can be preferred as a refreshing garnish alongside grilled chicken or fish dishes.
