Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 0 min
Total Time: 15 min

Ingredients:

• 500g (1 lb) cooked chicken meat from store-bought roast chicken
• 1 celery stem, sliced thinly
• 1 green onion stem, finely sliced
• 3/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
• 3 tbsp cornichon/dill pickle, finely chopped
• 1 1/2 tbsp fresh dill, finely chopped
• Sauce:
  • 2/3 cup whole egg mayonnaise
  • 2/3 cup sour cream (substitute with full-fat yogurt)
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 3/4 tsp cooking/kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
• Salted butter, for spreading on bread
• 20 slices white sandwich bread (day-old)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Shred the cooked chicken as finely as possible using a stand-mixer, hand-held beater, or your hands.
2. In a separate bowl, mix the sauce ingredients until smooth.
3. Pour the sauce over the chicken and add the remaining filling ingredients (walnuts, celery, green onion, pickle, dill). Stir to combine.
4. Butter the bread lightly to create a barrier and prevent the filling from soaking into the bread.
5. Spread the chicken mixture generously across the bread slices.
6. Cut off the crusts for a gourmet touch, then slice into halves or rectangles.
7. Refrigerate for 2 hours for clean, neat cuts.

Helpful Cooking Tips:

• Storage: These sandwiches keep well in the fridge for up to 3 days, though the filling flavor improves overnight.
• Substitutes: If you don’t have walnuts, try using cashews or macadamia nuts for a different flavor.
• Meal Prep: This chicken filling works great for meal prepping and can be stored separately for up to 3 days.

Pro Tips:

• For a richer, buttery flavor, use high-quality whole egg mayonnaise.
• For an extra creamy texture, substitute sour cream with Greek yogurt.
• Customizable bread options: You can use your favorite type of bread or swap to a whole grain variety for a healthier twist.
