Chicken Salad Cucumber Sandwich Food

ULTIMATE CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts in a wide pot or pan and cover by about an inch with cold water. Season the water with salt. Optionally, you can add aromatics of your choice. Read my poached chicken recipe for more details.
• Turn the heat to medium until it reaches a gentle simmer. Then reduce the heat back to low and cover the pan. Let the chicken simmer for 8-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160-165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove the chicken and let it rest for a couple of minutes. Then chill in the fridge.
• Transfer the cooled chicken to a cutting board and dice it into 1/2-inch pieces.
• Slice and dice the celery, green onion, grapes, parsley and tarragon. Add those ingredients to a mixing bowl along with the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper.
• Mix everything together until it's well combined. Let it chill in the fridge until you're ready to serve.

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.

GREEK CHICKEN WITH CUCUMBER-FETA SALAD

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together the yogurt and garlic; season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer 1/2 cup of the yogurt to a medium bowl and reserve for Step 5.
• Coat the chicken: To the large bowl, add the oregano and stir to combine. Season the chicken all over with 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of pepper. Add the chicken to the large bowl and turn to coat; set aside.
• Start the salad: Smash the cucumbers with the side of your knife until craggy and split. Rip into ½- to 1-inch pieces and transfer to a colander placed in the sink. Slice or chop the tomatoes into bite-size pieces. Add to the cucumbers along with 1 ½ teaspoons salt. (It may seem like a lot of salt, but most will drain away.) Toss to combine and leave to drain.
• In a large nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet, heat the olive oil over medium. Scrape excess marinade off the chicken, then cook the chicken in batches, adding oil to the pan if necessary, until it's well browned and releases from the pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Flip and cook until cooked through, another 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to plates to rest. (For grilling info, see Tip.)
• To the medium bowl of yogurt, add the feta and mash with a fork until a chunky paste forms. Shake the cucumbers and tomatoes to get rid of any excess moisture. Add to the feta yogurt along with the olives and stir until coated. The balance is dependent on your produce and feta, so season to taste with salt and pepper until flavors are vivid. Eat alongside the chicken.
