Ingredients
1/4cupwhole-milk plain strained (Greek-style) yogurt
1/4cupmayonnaise
1/4cupfinelychopped celery
2teaspoonsgratedlemon zest
2teaspoonsDijon mustard
1/4teaspoonground pepper
1/4teaspoonsalt
1cupshreddedrotisserie chicken
1/4cupthinly slicedred onion
8sliceswhole-wheat bread
2tablespoonsunsalted butter, melted
1mediumtomato, cored and cut into 8 (1/4-inch) slices
4slicesAmerican cheese
Directions
Stir yogurt, mayonnaise, celery, lemon zest, mustard, pepper and salt together in a medium bowl until well combined. Fold in chicken and onion until evenly coated.
Brush 1 side of each bread slice with melted butter (about 3/4 teaspoon each); place bread, buttered-sides down, on a work surface. Spread 1/4 cup chicken salad on each of 4 slices; top each with 2 tomato slices and 1 cheese slice. Top with the remaining 4 bread slices, buttered-sides up, pressing down slightly to flatten.
Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-low heat. Cook 2 sandwiches, covered with a lid slightly smaller than the skillet (so it presses on the sandwiches), until the cheese is melted and the bread is golden brown and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer the sandwiches to a plate; loosely cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe the skillet clean; repeat the process with the remaining 2 sandwiches. Slice the sandwiches in half and serve immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
A zested lemon covered in plastic wrap will be best if used within three days. However, you can still use it for up to a week. If you don’t need it immediately, you can store it in a freezer-safe bag and freeze it for up to three months.

Nutrition Facts(per serving)
- Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
