Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Filling

  • 500g cooked chicken meat (from 1 large store-bought roast chicken)
  • 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
  • 1 green onion, finely sliced
  • 75g walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 3 tbsp finely chopped cornichon or dill pickle
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped dill

Sauce

  • 160g whole egg mayonnaise
  • 160g sour cream (or full-fat yogurt)
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (or white wine vinegar)
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • ¾ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Other Ingredients

  • Salted butter for spreading
  • 20 slices white sandwich bread (preferably day-old)

Instructions

  1. Shred Chicken: Finely shred the cooked chicken meat using your hands, a stand mixer, or beater until the texture is uniform and tender.
  2. Prepare Sauce: In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, onion powder, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Whisk these together until smooth and evenly mixed.
  3. Combine Filling: Add the shredded chicken, chopped celery, sliced green onion, chopped walnuts, cornichon, and chopped dill into the sauce. Stir thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are well incorporated.
  4. Butter Bread: Lightly spread salted butter on one side of each slice of bread, which helps prevent sogginess and adds flavor.
  5. Assemble Sandwiches: Spread approximately 100g of the chicken filling onto the unbuttered side of one slice of bread, then top it with another slice, buttered side facing out.
  6. Chill (Optional): Place the assembled sandwiches in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes to firm up the filling and make slicing easier.
  7. Slice and Serve: Cut the sandwiches into halves or quarters as preferred and serve immediately or chilled.

Notes

  • Using day-old bread helps prevent the sandwich from becoming too soggy.
  • Chilling the sandwiches before slicing improves handleability and presentation.
  • You can substitute sour cream with full-fat yogurt for a lighter variation.
  • For additional crunch, lightly toast the bread instead of using it fresh.
  • Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste before assembling.
