COPY PANERA CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH (ORIGINAL)
This is a copy that I made up myself of the Old version of the Panera Chicken Salad Sandwich. Not the new one with grapes and almonds. It's delicious! I just made it and its actually better because there aren't a lot of chemicals and preservatives like the Panera kind. I took cue from the main ingredients in the sandwich. Here are Panera's ingredients : Chicken (water, food starch modified, salt, chicken fat, chicken flavor (beef extract, wheat starch, silicone dioxide, thiamine hydrochloride, alpha tocopherol)) dextrose, corn starch, flavors, sodium phosphate) mayonnaise (water, soybean oil, vinegar, food starch modified, egg yolk, whole eggs, corn syrup, spices, salt, propylene glycol alginate, xanthan gum, sodium benzoate & potassium sorbate-preservatives, calcium disodium EDTA), celery, lemon juice, onion powder, garlic powder, white pepper, parlsey.) Here are mine:

Steps:
- Take the Chicken Breasts and place them on a cutting board. Cover with plastic wrap and pound with a mallet (or a frying pan if you don't have one) to a 1/2 inch thickness. They will cook more evenly and it will be easier to chop them into even chunks. HEAVILY season both sides of the chicken with garlic and onion powder. (You are going to boil the chicken so don't worry about it being too salty.) Put the chicken in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring it to a boil and then cover and let simmer till cooked, about 10 minutes. If it finishes cooking earlier then take it out then so it doesn't become rubbery. Take the chicken out and let cool.
- Chop the celery and the cooled chicken and set in a bowl. In another small bowl put mayo, sugar, pepper, lemon juice together and whisk until well combined. You want the sugar to disintegrate so that you're not tasting the grain.
- Mix the mayo with the chicken and celery. Take a slice of bread and place a large slice of lettuce, then tomato, then red onion. Top with the chicken salad and another slice. Serve with potato chips and pickle. (Or you're favorite soup!).
- I hope you like this recipe. I really thought it out and was RELIEVED that my hard work paid off and it tasted so close to the real thing!
- Good luck!

CRAIG CLAIBORNE'S CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH
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.

BAREFOOT CONTESSA'S CHICKEN CAESAR SALAD SANDWICH
The Barefoot Contessa is one of my favorite cooks.This morning's show she made these sandwiches and they looked so good I'm going to make them. The changes I will make is using Romaine lettuce instead of the arugula, I don't care for it. Also I would omit the pancetta,I think I'd prefer not to use pork.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the chicken breasts on a sheet pan skin side up. Rub the chicken with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until cooked through. Cool slightly, discard the skin and bones, and slice the meat thickly. Set aside. Meanwhile, place the pancetta on another sheet pan in a single layer. Roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until crisp. Set aside to drain on paper towels. Place the garlic and parsley in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and process until minced. Add the anchovy paste, mustard, lemon juice, and mayonnaise and process again to make a smooth dressing. (Refrigerate the Caesar dressing if not using it immediately.) Slice the ciabatta in half horizontally and separate the top from the bottom. Toast the bread in the oven, cut side up, for 5 to 7 minutes; cool slightly. Spread the cut sides of each piece with the Caesar dressing. Place half the arugula on the bottom piece of bread and then layer in order: the sun-dried tomatoes, shaved Parmesan, crispy pancetta, and sliced chicken. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and finish with another layer of arugula. Place the top slice of ciabatta on top and cut in thirds crosswise. Serve at room temperature.

Tips for Making a Scrumptious Egg Salad Sandwich:
Use Fresh, Hard-Boiled Eggs: The foundation of a delightful egg salad sandwich lies in perfectly cooked eggs. Utilize fresh, large eggs for a richer flavor and ensure they are hard-boiled to prevent a runny texture.
Mash the Eggs Thoroughly: Create a smooth and creamy egg mixture by mashing the hard-boiled eggs thoroughly. Avoid over-mashing, as this can result in a pasty consistency.
Season Generously: Don't shy away from seasonings! Enhance the flavor of your egg salad with a combination of mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper. Adjust the proportions to suit your taste preferences.
Add Crunch and Freshness: Incorporate diced celery and onion for a refreshing crunch and a pop of flavor. Additionally, consider adding chopped fresh herbs like chives, dill, or parsley for an extra layer of aromatic goodness.
Choose the Right Bread: Opt for a sturdy and flavorful bread that can hold up to the fillings without becoming soggy. Consider using a classic white bread, wheat bread, or even a croissant for a touch of decadence.
Assemble Carefully: Spread the egg salad evenly on one slice of the toasted bread, then top with your choice of sliced hard-boiled eggs, lettuce, tomato, or any other desired toppings. Finally, add the second slice of bread to complete your delectable egg salad sandwich.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, crafting a tantalizing egg salad sandwich is a culinary art that requires attention to detail and a harmonious blend of flavors. By following the tips outlined above, you'll be able to create a sandwich that satisfies your taste buds and leaves you craving more. Experiment with various ingredients and techniques to personalize your egg salad sandwich and make it a delightful treat for any occasion.
