Answer 1

curried chicken salad (filling for your sandwiches)

INGREDIENTS
2 cups cubed, cooked chicken
1 medium unpeeled red apple, chopped
3/4 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup thinly sliced celery
1/4 cup chopped pecans
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions
3/4 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
2 teaspoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon curry powder

DIRECTIONS
In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients. Combine mayonnaise, lime juice and curry powder; add to chicken mixture and stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate until ready to pack.

Answer 2

Grilled chicken is very tasty in a sandwhich. The day before, take one chicken breast (or a couple so you have some for later), grill until it's cooked throuhout then slice in half widthwise (cut with the knife parallel to the table to get two flat slices of chicken. Add some fresh romaine or bibb lettuce, tomato, onion, etc. and a little of your favorite light salad dressing or light/fat free mayonnaise.
Tuna salad is one of my favorites, but watch out when buying or making your own as mayonnaise contains a lot of fat and store bought brands tend to be high in sodium. Again, add some lettuce, tomato and even cucumber if you like.
I am also a fan of chicken salad, but make it with light mayonnaise. I sometimes add curry powder for spice and some sliced almonds for crunch and texture. Raisins can be thrown in if you like.
In addition, be sure to try to use whole grain bread and include some healthy snacks to go with (fresh vegetables, etc.)
