A chicken sandwich is like the best and most fulfilling snack you can serve a meat lover. Juicy and crispy meat pieces layered between slices of bread with caramelised onions and creamy sauces. This picture is enough to make foodies drool and crave this delightful, protein-rich dish.
The assembly of the snack and juicy bites can even make vegetarians salivate. But is there only one recipe for a chicken sandwich? Ask an expert, and they will narrate 100 different ways to make this snack. Having a sandwich maker, a sturdy and fine pick from top brands like Usha, is equally helpful. It can help you achieve the perfect golden brown hue on the bread and impart a crispy texture that is hard to achieve on a griddle. Check out some recipes below.
Spicy BBQ Chicken Sandwich
To make this sandwich, you don't have to operate a heavy-duty grill. You simply need smoky barbecue sauce, shredded chicken, grated cheddar cheese, and a pinch of paprika. Marinate the chicken in the sauce and paprika before layering it with cheese between bread. Grill it in the sandwich maker using butter, and your craving will be satisfied in just one bite.
Creamy Chicken and Corn Sandwich
Corn complements the chicken by adding a bit of sweetness. To prepare this sandwich, mix sweet corn, boiled and shredded chicken, mayonnaise of your choice, pepper, salt, and oregano in a bowl. Spread this blend on a slice of bread and cover it with another. Cook it in Usha's sandwich maker for those friable bites that will make a stranger sitting beside you slobber.
Chicken Pesto and Mozzarella Sandwich
Pesto is not just for pizza and pasta, it can add oomph and freshness to your chicken sandwich recipe. Shredded meat is tossed with pesto sauce. Leave it for 10 minutes before spreading it on a bread slice and layering with grated mozzarella cheese. Each bite will be an explosion of earthy, minty, and creamy notes and textures in your mouth. You can also add fresh cherry tomatoes and arugula for depth.
Chicken Tikka Toastie
Toss leftover chicken bites with tikka masala spices. Once the meat is coated with aromatics, spread sauce or mayonnaise of your choice on bread. You can also use spiced yoghurt. Sprinkle thin onion slices, some fresh herbs, sliced tomato, and thinly sliced cucumber before adding spiced chicken pieces. Grill the sandwich in your sandwich maker to get the perfect brown hue and crispy texture. This can also be enjoyed with cocktails.
Chicken and Bell Pepper Grill
To prepare this sandwich, you will have to do some additional work, like cooking diced bell pepper and onion with chicken, garlic, and soy sauce. Meanwhile, toast bread slices. Once the chicken blend cools off, spread pesto or tandoor mayonnaise on bread, add chicken mixture, top it with thinly sliced cucumbers for freshness, and drizzle chilli oil. You can add more vegetables if you like to increase the fibre count.
