Panera Chicken Salad Spread image

After much searching, I found this recipe for Panera's chicken salad on a message board. NOTE: This claims to be the chicken salad spread that Panera sells on sandwich bread, not a lettuce-leaf salad with chicken in it. I'll post a rating and let you know how close it is to the real thing after I make it.

Time 20m

Yield 4 sandwiches, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 lbs chicken, cut up
salt
fresh ground pepper
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, packed
3/4 cup fresh horseradish, peeled, finely grated
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon hot paprika
spicy deli mustard
red onion, sliced
tomatoes, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Rinse the chicken pieces in cold water and pat dry. Season with salt, pepper, and half of the oil. Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer in a roasting pan. Roast for 20 minutes, remove from oven, and set aside to cool. Once cooled, discard the skin, pull the meat from the bone, and shred.
  • In medium bowl, whisk together remaining oil, mayonnaise, cilantro, horseradish, lime juice, and paprika. Fold in the shredded chicken and season to taste.
  • Serve with deli mustard, sliced red onion, and tomato on your favorite sandwich bread (sourdough is great) or halved croissants.
