Chicken Cucumber Sandwiches Food

CUCUMBER SANDWICH RECIPE

Steps:

• Peel the cucumber, and slice it thinly. I used a simple OXO slicer for quick, even slices.
• Spread soft/room temperature cream cheese on two slices of bread.
• Arrange the cucumber slices, overlapping slightly, on one slice of bread and top with the other.
• Slice off the edges with a sharp serrated knife, wiping with a damp paper towel after each cut. Next, cut into fingers (or triangles). Whether you cut them into fingers or triangles, you'll end up with two finger sandwiches.
• If you need to make cucumber sandwiches ahead of time, keep them in a sealed container with a paper towel inside for a few hours, and refrigerate them.

CHICKEN SALAD & CUCUMBER SANDWICH

Steps:

• 1. In a medium bowl, add chicken and onions. Mix to make chicken flakey. Add in mayonnaise until well blended.
• 2. Lay 4 slices of bread down. (I spread a little mayo on the slices) Top each with the chicken salad. (I add a little salt & pepper) Cover chicken salad with slices of cucumbers, about four slices, then top cucumbers with tomato slices ( I like mine without tomato )
• 3. Then add the alfalfa sprouts on top of the cucumbers. Add as much as you like. Top with remaining bread.
• 4. I like to cut my sandwiches in half and add a slice of cucumber on top with a toothpick if serving guests. Makes a pretty presentation.
• 5. I made this with Rose Mary's salad (pictured) and delish! But also goes well with chips, fruit or a light soup.

CHICKEN BANH MI

Steps:

• Combine the vinegar, 1 cup water, sugar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Soak the carrots in the vinegar brine for at least 30 minutes.
• Place the chicken breasts in a small saucepan with just enough water to cover. Add 1/4 cup of the soy sauce and cilantro sprigs and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer, about 18 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat, uncover and cool the chicken in the liquid, about 30 minutes.
• Tear the chicken into shreds and toss with the mayonnaise, sriracha and the remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Slice the baguettes lengthwise, leaving a hinge intact. Spread mayonnaise on both sides of the bread. Add the chicken and toast, open faced, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain the carrots. Add the carrots, cucumbers and cilantro leaves to each sandwich and serve immediately.

GREEK CHICKEN & CUCUMBER PITA SANDWICHES WITH YOGURT SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine lemon zest, lemon juice, 3 tsp. oil, oregano, 2 tsp. garlic, and crushed red pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken and toss to coat. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 4 hours.
• Meanwhile, toss grated cucumber with 1/4 tsp. salt in a fine-mesh sieve. Let drain for 15 minutes, then squeeze to release more liquid. Transfer to a medium bowl. Stir in yogurt, mint, dill, ground pepper, and the remaining 2 tsp. oil, 3/4 tsp. garlic, and 1/4 tsp. salt. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Preheat grill to medium-high.
• Oil the grill rack (see Tip). Grill the chicken until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 165 degrees F, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• To serve, spread some of the sauce inside each pita half. Tuck in the chicken, lettuce, red onion, tomatoes, and sliced cucumber.
