Replace the chicken with 500g of paneer, cut into thick slices. Marinate and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden.
For a lighter version, replace the mayonnaise with an equal amount of thick Greek yogurt in the mint spread.
Try using naan bread or a brioche bun instead of sliced bread for a different texture and experience.
Incorporate other vegetables like sliced cucumber, bell peppers, or pickled jalapeños for extra crunch and flavor.

This sandwich can be part of a healthy diet. It's high in protein from the chicken and contains beneficial probiotics from the yogurt marinade. To make it healthier, opt for whole-grain bread, load up on fresh vegetables, and use a yogurt-based spread instead of full-fat mayonnaise.
It's best assembled just before serving to prevent the bread from getting soggy. However, you can prepare the components in advance: marinate the chicken overnight, cook it and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days, and make the mint yogurt mayo ahead of time.
For a healthier and tangier alternative, you can replace the mayonnaise entirely with thick Greek yogurt or hung curd. You can also use cream cheese or a hummus base for a different flavor profile.
Yes, you can bake the chicken. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through. For a charred effect, you can broil it for the last 2-3 minutes.
