Chicken Salad is a really tasty filling for sandwiches. The creaminess comes from the mayonnaise and the crunchiness comes from the cabbage and carrots.
You can add red onions and jalapeños if you like it spicy.
The filling can be added in a burger bun, brioche bun, croissant, or sandwich bread.
You can even put it in between 2 lettuce leaves if you do not eat bread.
What are the ingredients needed?
Chicken – Chicken breast, thighs, or tenders can be used. To save even more time you can use shredded rotisserie chicken.
Cabbage – A small wedge cut into small pieces.
Carrots – chopped into small pieces.
Scallions/Spring onions – chopped
Mayonnaise – I used olive oil mayonnaise but any mayonnaise is fine.
Vinegar – just a teaspoon of white vinegar.
Salt and pepper to taste.
That’s it! It’s really simple.
How do you make this Chicken Salad?
Boil the chicken in water with salt and pepper until fully cooked.
When it cools down you can shred/chop the chicken and keep it aside.
Chop the cabbage and carrots the same size. They should be diced into small pieces.
Chop the scallions/spring onions.
Add vegetables to the chicken, add mayonnaise, a tsp of vinegar, pepper, and salt to taste.
Mix well. Use it as a filling for your sandwiches.
The filling can be stored in the fridge in an airtight food-safe container for up to 2 days.
Make a sandwich using the filling and some lettuce. It really is a simple filling meal!
I used it as a filling in a croissant as that’s what I had. But a good hearty sandwich bread makes the best sandwich!

Notes:

- Putting butter on your bread is optional. I have skipped it as the filling is creamy and I felt it did not need it.
- Do not skip the lettuce leaves as this prevents the bread from getting soggy.
