TOASTED CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES



Toasted Chicken Salad Sandwiches image

I love chicken salad sandwiches. For this recipe, I use a rotisserie chicken from the supermarket. 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

ALMOND-CRUSTED CURRY CHICKEN SALAD TEA SANDWICHES



Almond-Crusted Curry Chicken Salad Tea Sandwiches image

Categories     Bread     Salad     Tea     Chicken     Almond     Simmer     Boil

Yield makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup sliced blanched almonds
1 whole skinless and boneless chicken breast (about 10 ounces)
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 small onion, unpeeled and quartered
4 whole black peppercorns
5 cups water
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 tablespoons mango chutney
3/4 teaspoon white-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
24 thin slices white bread

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spread the almonds on a baking sheet, and toast until fragrant and golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool, and gently crush. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine the chicken, salt, onion, peppercorns, and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat, and simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool; reserve the stock for another use.
  • When the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred the meat and chop it into small pieces. Return to the plate; cover, and place in refrigerator until ready to use.
  • In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, curry powder, chutney, vinegar, and toasted coconut; stir to combine. Reserve 1/2 cup curry mayonnaise, and stir the remaining mayonnaise into the chicken. Thinly spread butter on 2 slices bread; cover 1 slice with a thin layer of chicken salad, and top with the other bread slice. Set aside. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
  • Stack several sandwiches; use a serrated knife to trim the crusts and cut into 2 rectangles. Arrange the sandwiches in a single row on the serving tray; they should rest on one long edge with the short ends standing upright. Spread a dab of reserved curry mayonnaise on the short ends, and gently pat on the almonds. Serve immediately. (Do not cover with damp paper towels, or the almonds will become soft.)

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Appetizers     Finger Food Recipes

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup toasted sliced blanched almonds
1 whole skinless and boneless chicken breast (about 10 ounces)
1 teaspoon coarse salt
1 small onion, unpeeled and quartered
4 whole black peppercorns
5 cups water
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 tablespoons mango chutney
3/4 teaspoon white-wine vinegar
3 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut, toasted
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
24 thin slices white bread

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spread almonds on a baking sheet, and toast until fragrant and golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool, and gently crush. Set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan, combine chicken, salt, onion, peppercorns, and the water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; reduce heat, and simmer until chicken is cooked through, about 20 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate to cool; reserve stock for another use.
  • When chicken is cool enough to handle, shred the meat and chop into small pieces. Return to plate; cover, and place in refrigerator until ready to use.
  • In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, curry powder, chutney, vinegar, and toasted coconut; stir to combine. Reserve 1/2 cup curry mayonnaise, and stir remaining mayonnaise into chicken. Thinly spread butter on two slices of bread; cover one slice with a thin layer of chicken salad, and top with other bread slice. Set aside. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  • Stack several sandwiches; use a serrated knife to trim crusts and cut into two rectangles. Arrange sandwiches in a single row on the serving tray; they should rest on one long edge with the short ends standing upright. Spread a dab of reserved curry mayonnaise on short ends, and gently pat on almonds. Serve immediately. (Do not cover with damp paper towels or the almonds will become soft.)

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your chicken salad sandwiches taste their best. Look for plump, juicy chicken breasts, crunchy celery, and crisp lettuce. Avoid using pre-packaged or processed ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. For tender, moist chicken, cook it over medium heat until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken cool completely before shredding it: This will help prevent the chicken from falling apart and becoming mushy.
  • Use a variety of textures and flavors in your salad: A good chicken salad sandwich has a variety of textures and flavors. Add crunchy celery, crisp lettuce, creamy mayonnaise, and tangy Dijon mustard. You can also add other ingredients like chopped nuts, dried fruit, or fresh herbs.
  • Season your salad to taste: Be sure to season your chicken salad to taste with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream to brighten up the flavors.
  • Use a sturdy bread for your sandwiches: A sturdy bread will hold up well to the moist chicken salad. Look for a bread that is slightly toasted and has a good crust.
  • Serve your chicken salad sandwiches immediately: Chicken salad sandwiches are best served immediately after they are made. The longer they sit, the more the bread will become soggy.

Conclusion:

Toasted almond chicken salad sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make lunch or dinner option. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a sandwich that is both satisfying and nutritious. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give toasted almond chicken salad sandwiches a try. You won't be disappointed!
