Get ready for the compliments because this sandwich is packed with #flavors! There is #nomayonnaise in the chicken salad — just healthy ingredients like #greenonions, #garlic, #redwinevinegar, #raisins, #almonds and #oliveoil and a little #Parmesan. Use a rotisserie chicken and only #onepan for cooking the other ingredients! It’s so #simple — my family raved about it and commented that it tasted like it came from a #gourmet restaurant!
Using a #rotisserie chicken for a chicken salad sandwich is one of the best #shortcuts—you get juicy, flavorful meat with #minimal effort. Here’s why and how it works well:
How to Use It
1. Cool it down: Let the chicken come to room temp or refrigerate before shredding—it’s easier to handle.
2. Remove skin & bones: Most people discard the skin for chicken salad, but you can save it for stock.
3. Shred or dice the meat: A mix of white (breast) and dark (thigh/leg) meat gives the best texture and flavor.
4. Season thoughtfully: Rotisserie chicken is already seasoned (sometimes salty), so taste before adding extra salt.
#SandwichTips
• Serve on buttery croissants, toasted sourdough, or whole wheat bread.
• Add crisp lettuce for crunch and to keep bread from getting soggy.
• If prepping ahead, keep filling separate and assemble sandwiches right before serving.
