All it takes is two slices of whole wheat bread, a
few pieces of chicken or chicken salami, a dash of mayonnaise, pepper and
mustard, a slice of tomato or iceberg lettuce to go with it and you have
yourself that much loved chicken sandwich!
A favorite of millions the world over, the chicken sandwich serves as a
whole meal during lunch or dinner for many and also as an inter-meal snack item
for tea parties. What’s more, when you have unexpected guests at home, it’s one
of the easiest items to serve with a drink, tea or coffee in a jiffy.
Preparing a chicken sandwich is hardly difficult.
You need to butter two slices of sandwich bread after slicing off the edges and
then set them aside. Take the boiled chicken nuggets or even shredded boiled
chicken in a bowl, sprinkle pepper and salt to taste, add a generous amount of
mayonnaise, a dash of tobasco sauce if you want that extra zing and the sandwich
filling is ready. An additional dose of ketchup is always welcome if it’s for
children. Rest assured, they’ll love it. Spoon the mixture on to one slice of
the bread and cover with the other. The sandwich is ready and crying to be
devoured.
There are of course variations to it also. If you
have leftovers of chicken roast, then this too, can be used as the sandwich
paste. Since roasted meat has a flavor of its own, don’t add anything extra to
it. A few shreds of crunchy lettuce or a slice of tomato will give it that
salad-like flavor. Mouthwatering, isn’t it? For those who enjoy the sharp taste
of mustard or like their stuff hot, a few drops of chilli sauce or Dijon
mustard smeared on the bread along with the butter works wonders. Then there’s also the Tandoori chicken
sandwich, which of late has caught public fancy, particularly in Britain.
Slices of Tandoori chicken are put between spiced breads to give it that unique
oriental flavor. And trust us, the Brits are loving it!
Be it Europe, America, Asia or Australia, the
chicken sandwich is universally available. It’s nutritional value, moreover, is
something to be considered and for the health conscious too, there are fat free
versions. These come without the mayonnaise and spices and comprise the chicken,
salt and pepper with a few chilli flakes. Bite into one. And savor ecstasy!
