Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 split (1 whole) chicken breasts, bone in, skin on
Good olive oil
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces thinly sliced pancetta
1 large garlic clove, chopped
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons anchovy paste
1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1/2 cup good mayonnaise
1 large ciabatta bread
2 ounces baby arugula, washed and spun dry
12 sun-dried tomatoes, in oil
2 to 3 ounces Parmesan, shaved

Steps:

  • 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.

INA'S CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES



Ina's Chicken Salad Sandwiches image

This is the Barefoot Contessa's favorite chicken salad sandwich. I absolutely love all of her recipes and this was no exception. She roasts her chickens rather than poaching them to insure that the chicken stays moist. I have tried it both ways and I think I have to agree with Ina, I like the roasting method best. However, use whatever method you prefer.

Chicken Salad Sandwiches, Barefoot Contessa Style Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 split (2 whole) chicken breasts, bone-in, skin on
Olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup good mayonnaise, plus more for the bread
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 cup small-diced celery (2 stalks)
8 to 10 slices health or seven-grain bread
1 package mesclun salad mix

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Place the chicken breasts, skin side up, on a sheet pan and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Set aside to cool. When the chicken is cool, remove and discard the skin and bones and cut the chicken into 3/4-inch dice. Place the chicken in a bowl and add the mayonnaise, tarragon, celery, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and toss well. To assemble, spread a little mayonnaise on half the bread slices, top with the chicken salad and mesclun mix, and cover with the remaining slices of bread. Cut in half and serve. OPTIONAL: Scallions or even dried cranberries would be an interesting addition to this.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, free-range chicken, crisp celery, and sweet grapes.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through.
  • Let the chicken cool completely before adding it to the salad. This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Season the salad to taste. Use salt, pepper, and mayonnaise to create a flavorful dressing.
  • Serve the salad on soft, fresh bread. This will help to soak up the dressing and make the sandwich more enjoyable to eat.

Conclusion:

Chicken salad sandwiches are a classic summer lunch recipe. They are easy to make, and they can be customized to fit your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make a chicken salad sandwich that is both delicious and satisfying.
