Hey there! I'm sharing this simple, yummy, nutritious recipe that's easy to make, especially when you're in a hurry. Hope you give it a try!
Ingredients
FILLING:
- ▢500g/ 1 lb cooked chicken meat from 1 large store bought roast chicken (Note 1)
- ▢1 celery stem , sliced 3mm/0.1″ thick then into 0.5cm/0.2″ pieces
- ▢1 green onion stem , finely sliced
- ▢3/4 cup walnuts , roughly chopped (Note 2)
- ▢3 tbsp finely chopped cornichon/dill pickle
- ▢1 1/2 tbsp finely chopped dill (Note 3)
SAUCE:
- ▢2/3 cup whole egg mayonnaise (S&W best in Aus, Note 4)
- ▢2/3 cup sour cream (sub full fat yogurt)
- ▢2 tsp Dijon mustard
- ▢1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice (sub white wine or cider vinegar)
- ▢1/2 tsp onion powder (or more garlic powder)
- ▢1/4 tsp garlic powder (or more onion powder)
- ▢3/4 tsp cooking/kosher salt
- ▢1/4 tsp black pepper
SANDWICHES:
- ▢Salted butter , for spreading on bread
- ▢20 slices white sandwich bread, day-old, (or more slices for less filling) (Note 5)
Instructions
- Shred the chicken as finely as you can. The best method is using a stand-mixer. Just put the meat in the bowl with the paddle attachment and mix on medium speed until it's really finely shredded (~ 1 minute). Else use a handheld beater or your hands.
- Mix the Sauce ingredients in a bowl until smooth – use a whisk if needed.
- Pour Sauce over the chicken. Add remaining Filling ingredients. Stir until combined.
- Spread bread with butter. Spread with Filling (see below for amount).
- Remove crusts if desired (for the authentic "gourmet" experience!) and cut in half. (Tip: For really neat cuts, refrigerate sandwiches before slicing so Filling firms up).
- Serve on platters littered with green fluffage, if desired!
