Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients for today’s dish. Trim the leftover chicken into bite-sized pieces and wash the potatoes thoroughly.
Step 2
Let’s make a delicious chicken sandwich using your leftover delivery chicken. You can enjoy a rich flavor without needing many extra ingredients.
Step 3
Take the clean potatoes. Place them in a microwave-safe dish, cover with plastic wrap, and microwave for 4 minutes until cooked. They are ready when a fork easily pierces through. If they’re not soft enough, microwave for an additional 1-2 minutes.
Step 4
Carefully peel the hot potatoes. While still warm, place them in a bowl and mash them with 1 Tbsp of butter. Stir in 2 Tbsp of sweetened condensed milk, a pinch of black pepper, and 0.5 tsp of salt. Gradually add about 50ml of milk while mixing until you reach your desired creamy consistency.
Step 5
With 50ml of milk, the mashed potatoes turned out wonderfully smooth and creamy. Feel free to adjust the amount of milk to achieve your preferred texture.
Step 6
Cut the boneless chicken into bite-sized pieces. Heat a non-stick pan over low heat, and toast the chicken pieces on both sides until golden brown without adding any oil. This enhances the chicken’s flavor.
Step 7
In a small bowl, combine 2 Tbsp of cream cheese, 0.5 Tbsp of honey, and 0.5 Tbsp of lemon juice. Whisk until smooth to create a tangy and sweet cream cheese sauce.
Step 8
Costco pita bread usually comes in a pack of 6. If frozen, thaw them at room temperature for about 1 hour before serving. You can lightly toast them in a dry pan over low heat for a warm sandwich, but I chose not to toast mine today.
Step 9
Carefully slice the pita bread in half horizontally. This will create an opening to stuff with your delicious fillings. Get ready to assemble your sandwich!
Step 10
First, line the inside of the pita bread with cheddar cheese slices. Then, generously layer the smooth mashed potatoes, followed by the golden-brown chicken. This creates a hearty and flavorful filling.
Step 11
Serve the completed chicken sandwich with the refreshing and savory cream cheese sauce for an extra burst of flavor. The combination of savory chicken, creamy mashed potatoes, and the sweet and tangy sauce is truly delightful. Enjoy this satisfying meal!
