Anyone Know How to Make a Shredded Chicken Sandwich?

Question

I'm trying to explain how to make a shredded chicken sandwich to my girlfriend, who is an excellent chef. She's never had one nor heard of the type of sandwich I'm talking about. I'm wondering if it might be regional because I'm from Ohio and she's from Michigan.

Anyway, I remember eating shredded chicken sandwiches as a kid. I think you use cream of chicken soup or something. I'm not very skilled in the kitchen. I just know that I loved these sandwiches.

So, does anyone know how to make a shredded chicken sandwich? If so, tell me I'm not crazy for thinking it has creamed soup in the recipe because the shredded chicken was always creamy and delicious.

Note: This is not a shredded BBQ chicken sandwich. I've had those, too and so has she. They are great!

This is not a chicken salad sandwich. It was served hot/warm and did not use mayo. We have eaten chicken salad sandwiches before so know for a fact these aren't the kind I'm talking about.

It is not made with a whole chicken breast. It is actually made with shredded chicken. It is also not an overly complex recipe to my knowledge.

Answer 1

We used to make them by shredding a roasted chicken and adding a can of cream of mushroom, or cream of celery soup and heating that all up.

Answer 2

1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 ounces feta cheese
1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts,shredded
2 tablespoons dry oregano
1 tablespoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon lemon pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup hot mustard
2 sandwich rolls, split in 2
1 cup shredded lettuce
4 large tomato slices
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a small bowl, mix the buttermilk, lemon juice, feta cheese and dill. Blend well. Allow flavors to blend in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.

On a clean work surface, sprinkle both sides of the chicken with the oregano, garlic salt and lemon pepper.

Heat a heavy nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and sear chicken for about 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Reserve.

Mix the panko and Parmesan in a shallow dish. Using a basting brush, paint the chicken with hot mustard. Dredge the chicken through the panko mixture.

Place the chicken on a wire rack that is sitting on top of a baking sheet. Bake the chicken until panko mixture is browned and crispy, about 5 minutes.

Spread buttermilk mixture onto the sliced face of each of the rolls. Top each roll with a chicken breast, 1/4 of the lettuce and 1 slice of tomato. Serve open face with a little more of the buttermilk sauce drizzled on top of the sandwich. Hope this is wat u wanted!!!!!!!

Answer 3

I've never heard of them. Maybe they are regional? I'd guess you shred chicken in mayo and then put it on bread? We call those "chicken salad sandwiches". Some people put in celery, but I hate celery. Actually, I hate those sandwiches in general, but that is how they make them. Good luck!

Answer 4

Try this. Shredded chicken, Mayo, fine chopped pickle and fine diced onion.
