Sandwiches that are worthy of a (real) meal!
If sandwiches are what you turn to when you’re in a time crunch or don’t feel like cooking, it’s time to rethink that.
These sandwich recipes are anything but boring—and they’re not the kind of thing you throw together and eat on the run. Nope, you’re going to have to sit down for these sandwiches!
To me, one of the best things about sandwiches is how flexible they are. You can put leftovers to use (hello, meatloaf sandwich!), swap one topping for another, and you can pair them with anything from a handful of store-bought potato chips, to Homemade Fries or Healthy Potato Salad.
Steak Sandwich
Juicy steak paired with crusty bread and flavorful toppings turns a simple sandwich into a dinner you actually look forward to.

Air Fryer Mediterranean Chicken Bites (Ready in 25 Minutes!)
These air fryer Mediterranean chicken bites use ground chicken with feta, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh herbs for a delicious twist on kofta that’s packed with Mediterranean flavor.
Kofta is a beloved Middle Eastern dish made with seasoned ground meat that’s traditionally grilled on skewers or shaped into patties. I used it as my inspiration for this recipe — I love using the air fryer to make these Mediterranean chicken bites because they cook up golden and crispy on the outside while staying incredibly juicy on the inside. Plus, the whole thing comes together in just 25 minutes!
Recipe Highlights
- Ready in 25 minutes: With just 10 minutes of prep and 15 minutes in the air fryer, this is a true weeknight dinner hero.
- Packed with Mediterranean flavor: Feta, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh mint, and parsley give these chicken bites serious depth without a long ingredient list.
- No skewers needed: Instead of fussing with skewers, you simply press the mixture into the air fryer basket and score it into pieces — so easy!
- Lighter than traditional chicken patties: Ground chicken keeps things lean while the feta and sun-dried tomatoes add plenty of moisture and richness.
- Meal-prep friendly: Make a batch on Sunday and enjoy it all week long over rice, in wraps, or on salads.
Ingredients Needed
- Ground chicken — the base of these bites. You can also use ground turkey, or mix in some ground beef or pork for extra richness.
- Feta crumbles — adds a salty, tangy kick that melts into the meat as it cooks.
- Sun-dried tomatoes in oil — these bring a concentrated, sweet-savory tomato flavor and help keep the chicken moist.
- Red onion — finely minced for a subtle bite and crunch.
- Sea salt & Italian seasoning — simple seasonings that let the other flavors shine.
- Fresh parsley & mint — a classic Mediterranean herb duo! They add brightness and that unmistakable Mediterranean freshness.
How to Make Air Fryer Mediterranean Chicken Bites
Preheat: Start by preheating your air fryer to 350°F.
Mix: Add the ground chicken, feta crumbles, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, minced red onion, sea salt, Italian seasoning, parsley, and mint to a large bowl. Use a silicone spatula to stir everything together until well combined.
Shape: Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and transfer the chicken mixture into the basket. Press it down so it’s flat and even across the surface.
Score: Using the spatula, separate the mixture into three columns with vertical lines, breaking the sections apart so they don’t touch. Then make horizontal lines about 2 inches apart down each column to create individual pieces.
Air fry: Drizzle the chicken with a little olive oil, then air fry for 10–15 minutes until the chicken is golden brown on the outside and cooked through. Remove from the air fryer and serve over rice!
Serving Suggestions
These air fryer Mediterranean chicken bites are incredibly versatile! Here are some of my favorite ways to serve it:
- Over rice: White rice, basmati, or even cauliflower rice with a big dollop of yogurt on top.
- In a pita wrap: Stuff the chicken pieces into warm pita with cucumber, tomatoes, pickled onions, and tahini sauce.
- On a mezze plate: Serve alongside hummus, tabbouleh, pickles, and warm flatbread for a spread.
- As a salad topper: Chop up the pieces and serve over a big Mediterranean salad with lemon vinaigrette.
- With roasted veggies: Pair with roasted bell peppers, zucchini, and eggplant for a complete meal.

How Prebiotic Foods Keep Your Microbiome Healthy
We co-evolved a symbiosis with our good gut bacteria, but we aren’t holding up our end of the bargain.
If you look at the classics—the most frequently cited articles in the scientific nutrition literature—the original glycemic index paper ranks tenth, cited more than a thousand times. Learning about fruits, vegetables, and cancer prevention comes in seventh. But hitting the top four, cited more than 2,000 times: “Dietary Modulation of the Human Colonic Microbiota: Introducing the Concept of Prebiotics.”
As I discuss in my video How to Keep Your Microbiome Healthy with Prebiotic Foods, prebiotics are the food components that nourish and feed the good bacteria in our gut, like fiber and resistant starch. Eating high-fiber plant foods is generally “a good foundation for a prebiotic-rich diet.”
Once upon a time, fiber was thought of as just the undigested part of food, known only for bulking up stools and keeping bowels regular. Then researchers discovered an array of receptors in the body that fiber-breakdown products fit into like a lock and key. We feed our good bacteria with fiber, and they feed us right back, munching the fiber and creating short-chain fatty acids. These fatty acids get absorbed into our bloodstream and fit into these receptors that are expressed on immune cells, generally having a direct anti-inflammatory effect.
So, the reason behind lower systemic inflammation in plant-based eaters may not just be due to the abundance of anti-inflammatory molecules in plant foods or the avoidance of proinflammatory molecules in animal foods, but from the production of anti-inflammatory molecules from scratch by our good gut bugs when we feed them fiber. Just to give you an idea of how protective fiber-rich foods can be, those randomized to get advice on eating fiber-rich plant foods during radiation therapy for cancer didn’t just experience reduced toxicity during the treatments—the benefit persisted even a full year later.
Indeed, the benefits of fiber are supported by more than a century of research. Prospective studies show “striking reductions” in death from all causes put together, including “total cancer deaths, total cardiovascular disease deaths and incidence, stroke incidence, and incidence of colorectal, breast, and oesophageal cancer.” And, in terms of protecting against heart attacks and stroke, type 2 diabetes, and cancer, dose-response relationships suggest that the more fiber, the better. So, at a minimum, fiber intake should be no less than 25 to 29 grams per day; higher intake may provide additional benefits. Yet, the average American only consumes about 16 grams of fiber each day.
We have coevolved with gut bacteria over millennia, becoming reliant on our good gut bugs in a kind of symbiosis for fiber digestion and the production of short-chain fatty acids and even certain vitamins. Yet we’re not holding up our end of the bargain. We’re supposed to be providing up to 100 or so grams of fiber a day, and we are barely passing along a measly 16 grams. The simplest solution to remedy this lack of dietary fiber is to encourage eating plant-based diets rich in fiber.
Doctor’s Note
