Instructions

  • Butterfly 200 g Chicken breast and coat it in 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning. Put it into an air fryer.
  • Cook for 14 minutes at 200°C/400°F, or until cooked through. When the chicken is cooked, allow to rest then slice in half.
  • While the chicken is cooking, mix together 2 tablespoon 0% Fat Free Greek yogurt and 0.5 tablespoon Sriracha.
  • Build the bagel by dividing 30 g Rocket (arugula) to the bottom halves of 2 Protein bagels. Add 120 g Fat free cottage cheese, the cooked chicken, 50 g Gouda (slices), 1 Heirloom tomato and 0.5 Avocado (slices). Spread the sauce over the other bagel half and put on top.

Notes

  • Do not skip resting the chicken. Even just 5 minutes helps keep the chicken juicy when you slice it.
  • Toast the bagel well so it holds up against the sauce, cottage cheese, tomato and avocado. A lightly toasted bagel can become soft quickly once loaded.
  • Use thick Greek yogurt for the sauce. A runnier yogurt can make the bagel messy, especially if you are packing it for lunch.
  • Season the chicken generously. Because the bagel has creamy ingredients like avocado, cottage cheese and yogurt, the chicken needs plenty of flavour to stand out.
  • Mash the avocado with a little lemon juice if you want it to spread more easily and stay fresher for longer.
