SOUTHERN FLORIDA CHICKEN SALAD SAMMIES/SANDWICHES



Southern Florida Chicken Salad Sammies/Sandwiches image

A friend's mom passed this on to me. She and her husband had to relocate to Puerto Rico for his job and they spent quite a bit of time down there. When she came home, she brought a ton of new recipes to pass on to us. She and her husband had this at a small restaurant and they wouldn't give up the recipe. This is her take on it.

"THE OTHER WHITE MEAT" CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH



I tried a pork chop recipe for dinner that my family didn't enjoy. I had a lot of chops leftover that I didn't want to waste so I put them in the fridge til the next day, hoping to figure out what to do with them. My family loves chicken salad sandwiches & the idea came to me that I should try to disquise the pork chops by making them into "chicken" salad. This is the delicious result, minus the original pork chop preparation. I used what I had on hand at the time, but most of the ingredients are easily substituted & now I will just use any leftover pork chops for this. It tastes just like my chicken salad.

INA'S CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES



Ina's Chicken Salad Sandwiches image

This is the Barefoot Contessa's favorite chicken salad sandwich. I absolutely love all of her recipes and this was no exception. She roasts her chickens rather than poaching them to insure that the chicken stays moist. I have tried it both ways and I think I have to agree with Ina, I like the roasting method best. However, use whatever method you prefer.

FANCY FLORIDA CHICKEN SALAD



Fancy Florida Chicken Salad image

Adapted from "Heart of the Palms," a Floridian cookbook. Prep time does not account for several hours of chilling time. You may also make the dressing a day early, but the chicken salad should be made the day it will be served.
