Low Carb Greek Style Sandwich
A few weeks ago I found the recipe on Pinterest and thought it looked and sounded like it would taste great. But, we have gone to a low-carb diet so the bread that is used on the original recipe won’t work for us.
I quickly got to work seeing what I could substitute on this low carb Greek Style Sandwich.
You can see the original recipe at Chef in Training. Her photos are way better than mine. In my photo, I pulled back part of the Lavosh bread to see what it looked like inside.
Here’s my version.
- 1 slice of Joseph’s Lavosh Bread, or more if you want more.
- 2 oz. cream cheese softened
- 3/4 cup frozen spinach thawed and well drained
- 1/4 bag of frozen fajita chicken strips. (any chicken would probably work. I used what I had on hand.)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (I had the remainder of a container of of a spicy feta blend)
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
I pre-heated the oven to 350 and melted the cream cheese in the microwave for about 10 seconds until it was soft enough to spread.
I cooked the spinach in the microwave too – enough to thaw it out.
Then, I threw the chicken into a hot cast iron skillet with some olive oil.
Once everything was either thawed out, cooked or melted here’s what I did.
- Spread the cream cheese over half the lavosh bread.
- Spread the spinach over the cream cheese.
- Scatter the chicken pieces over the spinach.
- Spread the mozzarella over all that.
- I then, folded the lavosh bread over the half with all the stuff on it.
- It baked for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees and then I cut it into strips.
Yummy!
My recipe isn’t super precise because I threw together what I had on hand. I suggest you do the same and then tweak as you need.
What do you think?

Stephanie, the problem with doing low carb and low fat together is that your body needs the fat if you aren’t getting carbs. Also, low fat stuff usually has some kind of filler that puts extra carbs into the product, so it just negates what you were trying to do!

Mmmmm. That looks good and also looks really healthy. Lots of good protein. You could use fat-free cream cheese too. I used some for chicken enchiladas last night and I notice no difference at all. Good recipe!
