Classic Chicken Sandwiches
A quick and easy recipe for Classic Chicken Sandwiches with creamy mayo filling. These Deli Style chicken sandwiches are perfect for lunches, picnics and gatherings.
Ingredients
- 500 g Chicken Breast Fillet
- ½ cup Whole Egg Mayonnaise
- ¼ cup Sour Cream or Full Fat Yoghurt
- 1 tsp Dijon Mustard
- 1 tsp Hot Sauce or Chilli Sauce
- 1 Spring onion finely chopped (Green Part Only)
- 2 tbsp Pickle Finley Chopped See Notes
- ¼ + ¼ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Blackpepper
- 1 tsp Vinegar
- Bread Slices See Notes
Instructions
- Place chicken in a pot and add enough water to fully cover it. Add salt and a splash of vinegar, then bring to a boil. Cook until the chicken is fully done.
- Let the chicken cool completely, then shred it very finely. For the best texture, use a stand mixer or handheld beater — it creates a smoother, creamier filling than hand-shredding.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with mayonnaise, sour cream, and the remaining ingredients. Mix until everything is well combined. Taste and adjust salt, pepper, or chilli sauce if needed.
- Spread a generous layer of the chicken filling on a slice of fresh bread. Top with another slice, then trim off the crusts if desired.
- Cut the sandwiches diagonally into halves or quarters. Serve immediately, or cover with cling wrap and refrigerate if serving later to keep the bread soft and moist.
Notes
- Store bought roast chicken can also be used. Remove the skin before shredding.
- You can use gherkins ,jalapenos or capers for extra flavour.
- Choose soft, fresh bread for the best results. While white sandwich bread is traditional, you can also use wholemeal, multigrain, rye, or even low-carb options depending on your preference.
