Ingredients to make Shredded Chicken Sandwich:
- ½ Grilled Chicken Breast (Leftover Chicken)
- 2 slices of cheese
- ½ avocado
- 1 tablespoon of Mayonnaise
- 4 handfuls of cherry tomatoes
- 1 pinch of freshly ground pepper
- 1 pinch of salt
- 3 slices of sliced bread
How to make Shredded Chicken Sandwich:
To make this grilled chicken sandwich, it is best to have leftover chicken, whatever it is or grilled chicken, stew, even fried chicken. In any case, what you should do is shred the chicken as thinly as possible and sauté it a bit in the pan to heat it up. If you have fresh chicken, then you can make a simple grilled chicken. Before removing the chicken from the pan, cut the cherry tomatoes in half and mix them with the shredded chicken. The idea is that they warm up and roast a little. To make our three-tier sandwich, we start by spreading mayonnaise on one of the slices of bread. Then we place the cheese and the avocado cut into strips. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
I have used whole wheat bread but you can use any type of bread to make our pulled chicken sandwich. As for the mayonnaise, you can use homemade mayonnaise or an avocado mayonnaise. Then we add the roasted chicken with tomatoes, add a good portion trying not to fall over the sides, so it is best to shred the chicken very well. To finish assembling the chicken and mayonnaise sandwich we repeat the operation. That is, we put another layer of bread, mayonnaise, cheese and chicken. I have preferred to place avocado only in the first layer, but this is to taste.
Put the lid on and voila, take a big bite out of your shredded chicken sandwich! You can make this sandwich for lunch or dinner, it’s great and the best thing is that it’s a very original way to take advantage of leftover chicken.
