GOURMET CHICKEN SANDWICH
Sauteed chicken breasts topped with a mayonnaise/mustard/rosemary spread and graced by 2 slices of garlic rosemary focaccia bread. These sandwiches are great when you want a quick supper, but not something from the freezer. They remind me of an expensive sandwich from an upscale deli. The spread and the chicken can be made in advance, and the chicken can be eaten hot or cold.

GOURMET CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH
This is an adult version of a childhood favourite. As kids, we had lots of chicken and sweetcorn sandwiches and I wanted to upgrade the flavor profile of the mixture as I got more experimental with my cooking. I have added yoghurt to the recipie so its healthier than just mayo alone! It's got the sweet and tart of cranberries...

Steps:
- 1. First, clean chicken breast and remove excess fat and bits.
- 2. Then, cut into small pieces. About 1 inch cubes.
- 3. Marinate chicken cubes with garlic and ginger paste, and salt and pepper (or soy sauce.) I use soy sauce when I can because I feel it adds more depth to the flavor.
- 4. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a saucepan over the stove on medium heat.
- 5. Add the stock to the pan.
- 6. Next add the marinated chicken cubes.
- 7. Boil the chicken in the stock until the chicken is fully cooked through. I like to start breaking apart the chicken at this stage. It helps in two ways: first it tells me that the chicken is cooked; and second, it give me a head start in the shredding process.
- 8. Take the pan off the heat and begin to shred the chicken using two forks. Keep any remaining liquid in the pan as you will need for your mixture.
- 9. Leave chicken to cool in its own juices.
- 10. In a seperate mixing bowl, add yoghurt and mayo and mix.
- 11. Chop up the spring onions and the avacado.
- 12. Add chopped avacado and spring onions ot the mixing bowl. I always throw in the pit of the avacado in the mixture to keep the chopped avacado from turning brown.
- 13. Add dried cranberries and mix.
- 14. Finally add the room temperature shredded chicken along with any residual juices from the saucepan. Should not be that much, about a tablespoon or so.
- 15. Mix it all up and finally add cracked black peppercorns, salt, and sugar to taste!
Tips:
- Choose the Right Chicken: Opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for a tender and juicy sandwich.
- Brining or Marinating: Enhance the flavor of your chicken by brining it in a flavorful solution or marinating it in a flavorful liquid for several hours or overnight.
- Proper Cooking: Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure it's safe to eat.
- Choosing the Bun: Select a sturdy bun that can hold up to the fillings without getting soggy.
- Homemade Sauces: Elevate your sandwich with homemade sauces, whether it's a classic mayonnaise-based sauce, a spicy Sriracha sauce, or a tangy barbecue sauce.
- Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and flavorful cheese make a big difference.
- Build Your Sandwich: Layer your sandwich with a variety of fillings and toppings to create a unique and satisfying combination of flavors and textures.
- Experiment with Different Flavors: Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavor combinations. Try adding herbs, spices, or other ingredients to your chicken or sauce for a unique twist.
Conclusion:
Creating a gourmet chicken sandwich at home is a rewarding culinary experience that allows you to customize every aspect of the sandwich to your liking. With careful attention to detail, from selecting the right chicken to crafting flavorful sauces and fillings, you can create a sandwich that rivals those served at top-notch restaurants.
