Chicken Salad

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Prepare Chicken Salad

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, chopped almonds, diced celery, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly coated with mayonnaise.

  2. 2

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Toast the Bread

  1. 3

    Prepare Sourdough Bread

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spread butter or drizzle olive oil on one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

  2. 4

    Toast the Bread

    Place the slices of bread, buttered side down, on the skillet. Toast until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Flip and toast the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 5

    Layer Ingredients

    On the toasted side of two slices of sourdough bread, place a lettuce leaf followed by a generous scoop of the chicken salad mixture. Top with slices of tomato and red onion.

  2. 6

    Finish the Sandwich

    Cover with the remaining slices of toasted sourdough bread, pressing down gently to hold everything together.

Serve

  1. 7

    Slice and Serve

    Cut the sandwiches in half, if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your delicious chicken salad sandwich!
