The Dish
Inspired by the traditional English tea sandwiches, this heartier version uses the classic cucumber and cheese topping while being protein-boosted by lean, grilled, and marinated chicken breast. The secret to building a dynamic and delicious meal is to layer flavor and texture. Creamy, low-fat cottage cheese is nicely contrasted by the crisp-fresh cucumber slices. The chicken — marinated with balsamic vinegar and Italian seasoning — is a delicious addition to these toasts, imparting an amazing sweet, savory, and smoky flavor. Pair this recipe with any one of our veggie-focused soups or salads for a well-balanced meal — perfect for lunch or dinner!
Prepping Ahead and a Time-Saving Tip
To save on time or as a prep-ahead option, feel free to marinate the chicken overnight. You could also marinate, grill, chill, and slice the chicken breast for even more time savings.
