Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups chicken (cooked, chopped)
3 tablespoons onion (red or yellow; finely chopped)
1/4 cup celery (finely chopped)
1 large egg ( hard-boiled ; chopped)
1/3 to 1/2 cup mayonnaise (as needed to moisten the salad)
1 tablespoon dill pickle relish
1/4 teaspoon salt (or seasoned salt to taste)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
8 slices bread
Lettuce

Steps:

  • To bake boneless chicken breasts, preheat the oven to 350 F. Line a baking pan with foil.
  • Arrange the chicken on the pan and season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Bake until the chicken registers 165 F on a food thermometer. Depending on the size and thickness of the boneless chicken breasts, it will take 22 to 30 minutes. Let cool and chop.
  • To poach boneless chicken breasts, place chicken in a single layer in a deep skillet or sauté pan.
  • If desired, add some herbs and chopped aromatic vegetables, such as onions, garlic, or carrots. Cover the chicken with water (about 1/2 to 1 inch above the chicken breasts) and bring to a boil over high heat.
  • Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and continue cooking for 8 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
  • Check the chicken breasts with a food thermometer to ensure they are done to at least 165 F. Let cool and chop.
  • Once you've cooked the chicken, gather all of the ingredients.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the cooked, chopped chicken, onion, celery, and egg. Stir to combine.
  • Add 1/3 cup of mayonnaise, the dill pickle relish, salt, and pepper to the chicken. Stir to blend well.
  • Add more mayonnaise to moisten, if desired.
  • Serve on bread with lettuce and enjoy.

The chicken is tossed with avocado oil mayonnaise, capers and dill relish, then layered on crusty bread with sliced radishes and butter lettuce. You can vary the flavor by adding herbs or some finely diced roasted red peppers. -David Ross, Spokane Valley, Washington

MARSHALL FIELD'S CHICKEN SALAD (WITH SANDWICH VARIATIONS)



Marshall Field's Chicken Salad (With Sandwich Variations) image

Love the combination of flavors and textures in this savoury salad. Delicious also as a sandwich (leaving out the grapes). Try it cold or a yummy hot variation: on one slice of sweet, whole-grain bread, spread 1/2 cup of chicken salad and put under broiler until heated, but not bubbly; top with 3 slices of bacon and 1 slice of provolone cheese. Return to broiler until cheese is melted. Yum!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your chicken salad sandwiches. Use good-quality mayonnaise, celery, and onion.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook the chicken just until it is cooked through, or it will become dry and stringy.
  • Use a variety of textures: Add some chopped nuts or seeds to the chicken salad for a crunchy texture. You can also add some chopped grapes or celery for a bit of sweetness and crunch.
  • Season the chicken salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a bit of lemon juice or vinegar for a tangy flavor.
  • Let the chicken salad chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the chicken salad to firm up. Serve the chicken salad on a bed of lettuce or in a croissant.

Conclusion:

Chicken salad sandwiches are a classic lunch or dinner option that can be made with a variety of ingredients. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious chicken salad sandwich that everyone will love.
