5-minute Chicken Salad Sandwich

5-minute Chicken Salad Sandwich

Downing some protein before workouts has been shown to boost muscle growth even more than having it after workouts.

My take: Why not do both?

1 rib celery, finely chopped

1 Tbsp finely chopped onion

1 Tbsp pine nuts

1 heaping tsp spicy brown mustard

1 heaping tsp fat-free sour cream

1 heaping tsp plain yogurt

Pinch of ground black pepper

2 cans (3 oz each) chunk chicken, rinsed and drained twice

4 slices whole-grain bread

2 leaves lettuce

How to Make It

1. In a large bowl, mix together the celery, onion, pine nuts, mustard, sour cream, yogurt, and pepper. Add the chicken and toss lightly so you don't break it apart too much.

2. Divide the salad, spreading each half on a slice of bread.

Top each with a lettuce leaf and another bread slice. Makes
