Looking for a fresh and healthy twist on the basic chicken salad sandwich? Tzatziki, a delicious cucumber yogurt sauce, is just the ingredient you need to change things up and create a delicious, healthy sandwich you’ll love. This cucumber sauce boasts bright flavors of lemon and dill and a cool, creamy texture thanks to plain Greek yogurt (a lighter option to the mayo used in traditional chicken salad recipes).

To make 4 Greek yogurt chicken salad sandwiches, start by preparing the Cabot Tzatziki. This recipe will make 1½ cups and will keep in the refrigerator for about 1 week.


Preheat oven to 350° F.


Place chicken breasts on a sheet pan and season with salt and pepper. (If using precooked rotisserie chicken, just roast the carrots.) Add the diced carrots and cover the pan with foil.


Bake for 45 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F degrees. Remove the foil and set aside to rest for 15 minutes. Shred the chicken on the pan with two forks (the chicken will absorb some of the juices from the cooking process.)


In a medium sized bowl, mix together the shredded chicken, carrots, sliced green onions, dill, cashews (if using) and ½ cup tzatziki. Chill for 60 minutes. Taste to determine if more salt or pepper is needed.


Toast bread for sandwiches, top with ¼ cup shredded Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar cheese to melt. Put a generous helping of chicken salad between two slices to make a sandwich and dig in!
