70g protein sandwich with PICKLE & CHEESE “bread” 🤯 I made the “bread” out of just mozzarella and pickles in the air fryer and filled it with my high-protein chicken salad, turkey bacon, lettuce, tomato, and banana peppers. Between the crunchy cheese, juicy pickles, creamy chicken salad, and crispy turkey bacon, this sandwich has so many different textures and flavors going on. It’s incredibly filling and a great quick meal that helps keep me full and on track. Recipe below 👇 Pickle Cheese Bread Sandwich Approx macros (whole sandwich): 545 calories | 70g protein | 9g carbs | 21g fat Pickle Cheese “Bread” • ¾ cup low-fat mozzarella (3 servings) (I used Trader Joe’s Light Mozzarella) • 3 sandwich-sliced pickles Chicken Salad • 4 oz cooked chicken breast • 77g Good Culture low-fat cottage cheese • 1 egg white • celery • onion powder • garlic powder • black pepper • tiny squeeze yellow mustard • tiny squeeze light mayo Additional Sandwich Fillings • 2 slices turkey bacon • lettuce • tomato • banana peppers ⸻ Instructions 1. Make the pickle cheese bread Line an air fryer basket or tray with parchment paper. Spread half of the mozzarella into a rectangle shape. Place 3 pickle slices on top. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella over the pickles. Air fry at 400°F for about 5–7 minutes until the cheese melts and begins to crisp. Carefully flip the cheese bread and air fry another 2–3 minutes to help cook off moisture from the pickles and crisp the other side. Air fryers vary, so if the cheese is browning too quickly you can lower the temperature slightly. Let cool so it firms up. ⸻ 2. Make the chicken salad Mix together: • chopped chicken breast • cottage cheese • egg white • celery • onion powder • garlic powder • black pepper • mustard • light mayo Stir until well combined. ⸻ 3. Build the sandwich Cut the pickle cheese bread in half. Add: • lettuce • chicken salad • turkey bacon • tomato • banana peppers Top with the second half of the cheese bread and enjoy. ⸻ Optional: This sandwich is very filling! If you prefer a smaller portion, you can easily divide the chicken salad and make two sandwiches or save half for another meal. #highproteinrecipes #proteinpacked #lowcarbrecipes #proteinmeals #healthymealideas
