Ingredients
Sandwich Ingredients
- 16 slices white bread (chilled before cutting)
- 250 g cooked and shredded chicken breast
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise (120 g)
- 3-4 tbsp cream (heavy, whipping, or table cream)
- Salt, to taste
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- 1-2 minced green chilies
- 3-4 tbsp shredded carrots (22-30 g)
- 3-4 tbsp sliced green pepper (22-30 g)
- 3-4 tbsp sliced green onion (green parts) (7-10 g)
Instructions
- Make the filling: In a bowl, combine shredded chicken, mayonnaise, cream, salt, black pepper, white pepper, minced green chilies, shredded carrots, sliced green pepper, and green onions. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is homogeneous and almost paste-like in texture.
- Adjust seasoning: Taste the chicken mayo mixture and adjust the salt or spices as needed to suit your preference.
- Prepare the bread: Trim the crusts from the bread slices to form neat squares. You can freeze these crusts to use later for breadcrumbs. Note: If you choose not to trim the crusts, you will have fewer sandwiches (5-6 instead of 8).
- Assemble sandwiches: Spread an even portion of the chicken mayo mixture onto 8 of the square bread slices.
- Complete sandwiches: Top with the remaining bread slices to close the sandwiches, then slice each sandwich to your preferred size and shape.
- Store or serve: These sandwiches can be prepared up to two days in advance and stored in the refrigerator for convenience and freshness.
Notes
- Refrigerate bread before cutting to make trimming easier and to achieve neater sandwiches.
- Freezing crusts allows you to make breadcrumbs for other recipes, reducing waste.
- Adjust the number of green chilies based on your desired spice level.
- These sandwiches are best served chilled but can be brought to room temperature before serving if preferred.
- For a variation, you can replace white bread with whole wheat or multigrain bread, but the traditional flavor is with white bread.
