Caraway aioli adds an enticing anise flavor.

Kids typically prefer familiar foods with mellow flavors, so sandwiches are a safe bet for everyone in the family. That doesn’t mean they have to be bland. This one showcases a variety of textures and flavors thanks to the apple-cabbage slaw and creamy caraway aioli, says Marissa Lippert, RD, a New York City-based nutritionist and owner of Nourish Baby, a food-delivery service for parents and newborns. Plus, the side of root vegetable chips will get any kid excited for lunch.

Ingredients

4 cups grapeseed or sunflower oil

2 root vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, parsnips, or beets, sliced very thin

Salt

Ingredients

1 apple, cored and thinly julienned

3 cups thinly sliced green cabbage

½ cup red onion, thinly sliced in half moons

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

2 teaspoons grapeseed oil

½ teaspoon sugar

¼ teaspoon caraway seeds, toasted

Salt

Black pepper

Ingredients

8 pieces rye or whole-grain bread, toasted

2 tablespoons caraway aioli

4 cups roasted chicken breast or thigh meat, cut or pulled into thin strips

Directions

Arrange 2 or 3 paper towels on a plate. In a medium saucepan, bring oil to a medium-high heat. Once hot, add a single layer of vegetable slices. Fry chips in batches until golden-brown and crisp. Place the chips on the paper towels. Season with salt.

For the slaw, mix the apple, green cabbage, and red onion together in a bowl.

Whisk together the apple cider vinegar, grapeseed oil, sugar, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper. Pour over the apple-cabbage-onion mixture and toss.

To make the sandwich, spread aioli on one slice of toasted bread. Top with chicken, slaw, and a second slice of toast. Serve with root vegetable chips.
