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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your chicken salad sandwich. Start with high-quality chicken, mayonnaise, and celery.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken just until it is cooked through, then remove it from the heat and let it cool.
  • Chop the chicken finely: This will help the chicken salad to spread evenly on your sandwich. You can use a food processor to chop the chicken, but be careful not to over-process it.
  • Add your favorite seasonings: There are many different ways to season chicken salad. Some popular options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You can also add herbs, such as parsley, chives, or tarragon.
  • Use a variety of textures: Adding different textures to your chicken salad will make it more interesting to eat. Some good options include chopped celery, shredded carrots, and chopped nuts.
  • Use a good bread: The bread you use for your chicken salad sandwich is almost as important as the chicken salad itself. Choose a bread that is sturdy enough to hold the chicken salad, but not so thick that it overwhelms the sandwich.
  • Spread the chicken salad evenly: When you spread the chicken salad on your sandwich, be sure to do it evenly. This will help to prevent the sandwich from falling apart.

Conclusion:

The perfect chicken salad sandwich is a delicious and versatile meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make a chicken salad sandwich that is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chicken salad sandwich a try.
