Greek Yogurt Chicken Salad Sandwich

Whenever possible, Hira and I try to get together on Saturdays to cook up several batches of a bunch of different dishes so that we’ll have food for the week. It helps immensely to have another person to do this with.

• Our kitchens double.
• Prep time for everything gets halved.
• It keeps me motivated, because at times, I’m way too lazy to cook something awesome just because I don’t feel like investing so much effort into it when I know the only person I’m feeding is myself.
• Also, she has pretty plates and I do not. :O

Both of us adore food and are trying to save money by using up everything in our kitchens/pantries before buying anything new. This is also an awesome setup because we’re usually completely exhausted by the time we get home from “work.” (In quotation marks because we’re not being paid; clinical rotations make up our 3rd/4th years for school.)

For our first gathering (a couple weekends ago), we made huge batches of 5 different dishes in under 1.5 hours. :D! I was pretty proud of us. :O This sandwich is one of the things we made (loosely adapted from here)!
