Create a Delicious Sweet & Tangy Honey Garlic Tomato Chicken Sandwich
A delightful sandwich featuring tender chicken coated in a luscious honey garlic sauce, paired with fresh tomatoes for a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors.
Main Ingredients- 4 slices whole wheat bread
- 4 large lettuce leaves
- 1 ripe tomato
- 2 chicken breasts (approx. 200g)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the chicken. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the 2 chicken breasts. Cook for about 10 minutes, ensuring they are fully cooked through. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the water, let it cool slightly, and then shred it into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Let’s make the delicious honey garlic sauce! Heat a pan over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of oligodang (or honey). Stir continuously for about 1 minute, until fragrant and slightly bubbly. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 3
Now, let’s glaze the chicken with the sauce. Add the shredded chicken to the freshly made honey garlic sauce. Toss well to coat. Continue to cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and coats the chicken beautifully with a glossy sheen. This process allows the chicken to absorb the rich sauce flavors.
Step 4
Prepare the bread for your sandwich. Toast 4 slices of whole wheat bread in a toaster or on a dry skillet until lightly golden. Spread a thin layer of plain yogurt onto the inside of each toasted bread slice. The yogurt adds a creamy texture and subtle tang.
Step 5
Now, add the fresh tomato for a burst of freshness. Slice the ripe tomato thinly and arrange the slices in a circular pattern on top of the yogurt. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of balsamic glaze in a zigzag pattern over the tomatoes for a touch of tangy sweetness.
Step 6
It’s time to add the star of the sandwich: the honey garlic chicken! Generously pile the succulent, sauce-coated chicken onto the tomato layer. The rich flavor of the chicken will be the heart of your sandwich.
Step 7
Finally, add some crispiness with lettuce. Place 2 large lettuce leaves on top of the chicken. Cover with the remaining slice of bread, gently pressing down to secure the fillings. Your sandwich is almost ready!
Step 8
Slice and serve. Cut the finished sandwich in half diagonally for a visually appealing presentation that showcases the delicious layers inside. Enjoy your wonderful Honey Garlic Tomato Chicken Sandwich!
