Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 ciabatta rolls ((or similar sandwich rolls - ciabatta are my favorite))
2 chicken breasts (cooked and shredded (see note))
2 tablespoons mayo
2 tablespoons greek yogurt
⅓ cup pesto ((homemade or store-bought))
4 slices provolone or swiss cheese

Steps:

  • Add shredded chicken, mayo, greek yogurt, and pesto to a large bowl. Mix well.
  • Cut your ciabatta rolls in half horizontally. Place one slice of cheese on the bottom slice of each roll. Spread pesto chicken mixture on top of the cheese, then top with the other half of the roll. Serve warm, chilled, or at room temperature. If you have a panini press or a george foreman, you can grill the sandwich in a flash (my favorite way to serve these!).

SHREDDED CHICKEN SANDWICHES



Shredded Chicken Sandwiches image

This Ohio potluck staple tends to be made with canned chicken, cream of mushroom soup, saltine crackers, and other iffy components. I developed this version using real ingredients so you can enjoy the warm comfort of shredded chicken sandwiches in a healthier, more delicious way.

Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

¼ cup slivered almonds
2 slices white bread, torn into pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 (5 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
6 cups chicken broth, or as needed
2 tablespoons salted butter
4 large roll or bun (3-1/2" dia)s brioche buns, halved

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Pulse almonds in the bowl of a food processor to fine crumbs. Add bread, oil, salt, and pepper and pulse mixture to coarse crumbs. Spread evenly on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Set aside to cool.
  • Season chicken with salt and pepper, then place in a Dutch oven or deep skillet in a single layer and cover with chicken broth. Bring to a boil over medium heat, skimming foam. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until no chicken is no longer pink in the center, 10 to 14 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove chicken and let cool a bit on a cutting board, then shred with two forks.
  • Strain chicken broth to remove solids.
  • Return chicken to the pot, then add bread crumb mixture and 4 cups chicken broth. Boil over medium heat, adding more broth if necessary, until mixture reduces and reaches desired consistency, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Toast flat sides of buns until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Fill with a generous scoop of chicken mixture and serve.
