How to Make Chicken Sandwiches With Garlic Cream Sauce

  1. Simmer 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in 1 cup chicken broth with 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and 1 bay leaf until cooked through (about 15-20 minutes).
  2. Remove chicken from broth, let cool slightly, then shred with two forks or chop into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Finely chop 1 stalk celery and 1/2 small onion.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine 1 tsp dried parsley, 1/2 tsp dried thyme, 1/2 tsp dried chives, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Add 3 tbsp mayonnaise, 1/4 tsp Dijon mustard, and 3 tbsp sour cream to the herb mixture.
  6. Adjust mayonnaise and sour cream to your preferred consistency.
  7. Gently fold in the shredded chicken, chopped celery, and onion. Mix well.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow flavors to meld (preferably overnight).
  9. Serve generously on warm whole wheat pita pockets or pita bread. For a steak sandwich, grill or pan-fry your steak to your liking, then top with the creamy garlic sauce and crumbled blue cheese (optional). For pork, use similarly cooked pork tenderloin or pulled pork.
