Essential Ingredients- 2 handfuls (approx. 1 cup) fresh sweet potato salad
- 4 slices of bread
- 4 large lettuce leaves (Romaine or Iceberg)
- 8 pieces of crispy fried chicken tenders
Flavor Enhancing Sauces- 2 tsp Mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp Heinz Relish (chopped pickles)
- Teriyaki sauce (to taste)
- Ketchup (to taste)
- 2 tsp Mayonnaise
- 2 Tbsp Heinz Relish (chopped pickles)
- Teriyaki sauce (to taste)
- Ketchup (to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) and cook the 8 chicken tenders for about 8 minutes until golden brown and crispy. While the tenders are cooking, toast your 4 slices of bread until lightly golden. Once toasted, spread a thin layer of Heinz Relish evenly over 2 of the bread slices. (If you prefer a bit of spice, you can substitute with whole grain mustard).
Step 2
Now, let’s assemble the sandwich! On top of the bread slices with relish, place 2 large lettuce leaves each. Generously spoon your prepared sweet potato salad over the lettuce. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise over the salad for extra creaminess. Finally, add your desired amount of teriyaki sauce. (Be mindful not to oversalt; adjust to your preference).
Step 3
Next, carefully arrange 4 of the crispy chicken tenders on top of the sweet potato salad. Drizzle ketchup over the chicken tenders to your liking. Crown your creation by placing the remaining 2 slices of bread on top. Your delicious chicken sandwich is now ready!
Step 4
To ensure your sandwich stays together and cuts cleanly, wrap it snugly in parchment paper or wax paper before slicing it in half. This method will help maintain its structure and make it easier to enjoy all the delicious layers in every bite.
