CRAIG CLAIBORNE'S CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH



Craig Claiborne's Chicken Salad Sandwich image

Originally printed in 1981, here is Craig Claiborne's take on the classic chicken salad sandwich. In his version, a combination of mayonnaise (preferably homemade) and yogurt is used which yields a lighter, tangier sandwich filling. He calls for using poached chicken, but the leftover roast chicken from last night would work beautifully as well.

A FAMOUS CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH



A Famous Chicken Salad Sandwich image

After enjoying an Arby's sandwich I could not help but try to make one similar because it was that good. I think this is pretty close, but better because all the fruits are fresh. I don't really measure so, the measurements are guesses, and it's more of getting a desired consistency. Also use your own favorite type of bread. I preferably use whole grain wheat.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 433 calories, Carbohydrate 49 grams, Fat 9 grams, Fiber 7 grams, Protein 37 grams, Sugar 15 grams

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the chicken salad sandwich will be. Use fresh, free-range chicken, mayonnaise made with real eggs, and crisp celery and onion.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, then remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly before shredding.
  • Shred the chicken by hand: Shredding the chicken by hand gives it a more rustic texture than shredding it with a food processor. If you do use a food processor, be careful not to over-process the chicken, or it will become mushy.
  • Use a good mayonnaise: Mayonnaise is the key ingredient in chicken salad, so it's important to use a good-quality one. Look for a mayonnaise made with real eggs and oil, and avoid brands that contain artificial ingredients.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: Chicken salad is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. Add your favorite mix-ins, such as chopped celery, onion, grapes, walnuts, or almonds.
  • Chill the chicken salad before serving: Chilling the chicken salad before serving allows the flavors to meld and makes it easier to spread. Chill the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Chicken salad is a classic sandwich filling that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With so many different variations, there is sure to be a chicken salad recipe that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a delicious and easy sandwich, give chicken salad a try.
