Marry Me Chicken Salad Sandwich

This Marry Me Chicken Salad Sandwich takes the satisfying combination of creamy, savory and tangy flavors from the original dish and gives it the sandwich treatment. We add a handful of peppery arugula to give a vibrant bite to every mouthful, but you can use baby spinach in its place if you prefer.

Ingredients

¾ cup drained julienned sun-dried tomatoes in oil, finely chopped
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup whole-milk plain strained (greek-style) yogurt
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot
2 teaspoons white-wine vinegar
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon salt
3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
8 slices whole-wheat bread
2 cups loosely packed arugula

Directions

Combine ¾ cup sun-dried tomatoes, ½ cup mayonnaise, ½ cup yogurt, ¼ cup Parmesan, 2 tablespoons shallot, 2 teaspoons vinegar, 1 teaspoon mustard, ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder and ¼ teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; stir well. Fold in 3 cups chicken until evenly coated.
Top each of 4 bread slices with 1 cup chicken salad and ½ cup arugula. Top with the remaining 4 slices. Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally.
