Cooking Steps
Wash and dry produce.
Quarter tomato lengthwise; cut crosswise into ¼-inch-thick pieces. Halve cucumber lengthwise; slice crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons.
Pat chicken* dry with paper towels; season all over with half the Za'atar Spice (you'll use the rest later), salt, and pepper. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes per side.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, garlic powder, half the onion powder (all for 4 servings), salt, and pepper.
Halve and toast ciabattas.
In a large bowl, whisk together vinegar, mustard, remaining Za'atar Spice, a large drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of sugar, salt, and pepper.
Add mixed greens, tomato, and cucumber; toss until coated.
Evenly spread cut sides of ciabattas with garlic onion mayo. Top bottom halves of ciabattas with chicken and as much salad as you like. Close to form sandwiches.
Divide sandwiches and any remaining salad between plates. Serve.

- Ease of prep: Quick and easy to make, with a visually appealing presentation of bright colors.
- Suggestions: Consider adding feta cheese to boost flavor. Try using heartier greens or a slaw for better texture.

Reviews from our home cooks
Awesome sandwich! It was so tasty! But there was way too many salad greens. I would have preferred less salad and an additional vegetable instead. But I LOVE this recipe! Great job! Thank you!
Easy to make and sooo good. Za'atar is a nice addition to the menu
Spice mix was amazing, and sandwich was a great mix of flavors with the salad mix.
Fast easy sandwich, and really appreciated having salad on the side instead of fries.
Everything was delicious but the salad greens wilted super fast. It was easier to just pick out the tomatoes and cucumbers to put on the sandwiches. (Which was very tasty!) Maybe heartier greens next time, or stick to that traditional cucumber-tomato salad for this kind of Mediterranean/Middle Eastern dish?
Very tasty and healthy recipe. It's also visually appealing with lots of bright colors. However, the mini cucumber was old, damaged and squishy. I could only use the part of it due to the damage and discoloration. Pls make sure that they pick and use fresh ingredients, not the bad and old product that I/ people won't pick from the store!!! The cucumber was old and not fresh once in the past, too.
This could have been a 4 star had it not had the mayonnaise mixture. It would have been better with tzatziki. Also a better quality chabatta as this one was not very substantive.
I love the cucumbers and tomato's with the dressing but the lettuce was ok. Maybe too much dressing that I made.. I'll make adjustments but would have preferred this with turmeric rice and veggies.
This is literally the best hello fresh I've ever had it's amazing 10/10 4 stars is not enough
All great except for the nasty tomato we threw out. I added some pecans and a persimmon to the salad. It was great.
