Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Filling:
  • 500 grams cooked chicken meat shredded (from one large store-bought roast chicken)
  • 1 celery stalk finely chopped
  • 1 green onion finely sliced
  • 75 grams walnuts roughly chopped
  • 3 tablespoons finely chopped cornichons or dill pickles
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill finely chopped
For the Creamy Sauce:
  • 160 grams whole egg mayonnaise
  • 160 grams sour cream or full-fat yogurt
  • 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or white wine or cider vinegar
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For Assembly:
  • Salted butter softened (for spreading)
  • 20 slices white sandwich bread preferably day-old

Method
 

  1. Prepare the Chicken Filling
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, celery, green onion, walnuts, cornichons, and fresh dill. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
2. Create the Creamy Sauce
  1. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
3. Combine Filling and Sauce
  1. Pour the creamy sauce over the chicken mixture. Stir until all components are evenly coated, resulting in a cohesive and flavorful filling.
4. Prepare the Bread
  1. Lightly butter both sides of each bread slice. This not only adds flavor but also prevents the bread from becoming soggy once the filling is added.
5. Assemble the Sandwiches
  1. Place a generous portion of the chicken filling onto a slice of buttered bread, spreading it evenly. Top with another slice of bread to form a sandwich. Repeat with the remaining bread and filling.
6. Optional: Trim and Slice
  1. For a classic presentation, you may choose to remove the crusts from each sandwich. Then, slice each sandwich diagonally to create two triangles.
7. Serve Immediately or Chill
  1. These sandwiches can be served immediately at room temperature. Alternatively, for a refreshing and firmer texture, cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For added crunch, toast the bread before assembling the sandwich.
  • The chicken filling can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Swap walnuts for pecans or almonds for a different nutty flavor.
  • For a spicy kick, add a dash of hot sauce or sliced jalapeños.
