Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • sharp knife
  • cutting board
  • small bowl
  • medium bowl
  • frying pan

Ingredients

Units Scale
CHICKEN
  • 400 grams chicken breast or boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp turmeric
  • 1/4 tsp curry
  • 1/8 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
SALAD
  • 200 grams tomatoes
  • 150 grams cucumber
  • 80 grams red onion
  • 1 tbsp parsley
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper
DIP
  • 200 grams yogurt
  • 12 leaves fresh mint
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/8 tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. Start by preparing the chicken marinade, since it needs resting time. Cut the chicken into small pieces if using breast, or leave boneless thighs whole. In a bowl, mix 1 tbsp olive oil with 1 tbsp lemon juice. Remove the skin from 3 garlic cloves, press them into the bowl, and add 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika powder, ¼ tsp turmeric, ¼ tsp curry powder, ⅛ tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp salt, and ⅛ tsp black pepper. Stir well, then add the chicken and mix until every piece is coated. Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
  2. While the chicken marinates, move on to the salad and dip. Cut the tomatoes, cucumber, and onion into small pieces. Pluck the parsley leaves, chop them finely, and set everything aside. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper, but don’t combine the salad yet; that comes right before serving.
  3. Next, prepare the yogurt dip. Peel 1 garlic clove and chop or press it. Stack a few mint leaves, roll them up, slice into fine rings, and chop finely. In another small bowl, add the yogurt, garlic, mint, ¼ tsp salt, and ⅛ tsp black pepper. Stir until creamy, then refrigerate the dip while finishing the chicken.
  4. When the chicken has marinated long enough, heat a large frying pan over medium heat. There’s no need to add extra oil — the marinade already has enough. (Optional: Thread the chicken onto soaked wooden or metal skewers.) Place the chicken in the hot pan and let it cook without moving it, until it turns white around the edges and golden underneath. Then flip and cook for the same amount of time on the other side, until golden brown and cooked through.
  5. While the chicken cooks, quickly finish the salad. Add the chopped tomato, cucumber, onion, and parsley to the olive oil–lemon dressing and toss everything together. Once the chicken is ready, arrange it on plates, add the salad on the side, and either spoon the mint garlic yogurt dip over the top or serve it separately.

Start your day right with a tasty Apple Cucumber Brie Turkey Sandwich on wholegrain bread. It’s got crunchy apples, fresh cucumbers, creamy Brie, and lean turkey for a delicious combo. This sandwich isn’t just good for you—it’s a yummy way to kick off your morning with lots of flavor.

Enjoy it in the morning or prep it ahead for on-the-go — quick, easy, and packed with nutrients. It provides a healthy start in the morning and serves as a convenient option when prepared as a meal prep. The combination of crisp apple, refreshing cucumber, creamy Brie, and lean turkey not only makes it delicious but also ensures you get essential nutrients. Easy to assemble and perfect for a flavorful energy boost.

Store this sandwich in an airtight container to keep it fresh. The layer of lettuce between the ingredients, especially the cucumber, acts as a barrier and prevents moisture from reaching the other ingredients. In this respect, this sandwich is very suitable for preparing the evening before or in the morning and taking with you on the go or simply enjoying at home.
