Main Ingredients- Leftover Chicken 7 pieces (Soy sauce flavored chicken recommended)
- Bread Slices 4 pieces
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the 7 pieces of leftover chicken for your sandwich. Soy sauce-flavored chicken is particularly recommended as its savory taste pairs wonderfully with the sandwich, making it even more delicious.
Step 2
Since the leftover chicken might be cold and firm, gently warm it in the microwave for about 30 seconds to 1 minute. This will soften the meat, making it much easier to remove the bones. Carefully debone the chicken and prepare the meat into bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
Now, let’s make the delicious dressing that is key to a great chicken sandwich! In a bowl, combine 3 Tbsp mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp whole grain mustard, 1 Tbsp regular mustard, 1 Tbsp honey, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well. Add the 9 sliced pickles, finely chopped or julienned, to the sauce and mix again to enhance the flavor.
Step 4
Prepare fried eggs to add richness to your sandwich. Fry the 2 eggs separately, cooking them to your preference for the yolk (runny or firm).
Step 5
Get your 4 slices of bread ready for the sandwich. First, lay out a piece of plastic wrap and place 2 bread slices side-by-side on it. Then, carefully arrange 1 handful of finely shredded cabbage on top of the bread, ensuring it doesn’t go over the edges.
Step 6
Sprinkle 1 Tbsp of ketchup over the shredded cabbage. The sweet and tangy ketchup will complement the crispiness of the cabbage perfectly.
Step 7
Gently place one of the fried eggs on top of the cabbage. Be careful not to break the yolk as you place it.
Step 8
It’s time to add the star ingredient: the chicken! Place half of the deboned chicken meat over the egg. Then, generously spoon half of the prepared dressing over the chicken. Make sure the sauce spreads well towards the edges of the bread.
Step 9
Cover with the remaining 2 slices of bread to complete the sandwich shape. Wrap the sandwich tightly with plastic wrap to secure its form, then cut it in half for easy handling. You’ve now made a fantastic chicken sandwich! Wrapping it tightly with plastic wrap before cutting ensures a neat presentation.
Step 10
Wrap the finished chicken sandwich tightly again with plastic wrap and cut it in half. This helps keep the sandwich intact and makes it easier to eat. Enjoy your delicious chicken sandwich!
