Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 500 g Cooked Chicken Meat Use leftover roast chicken for convenience.
  • 1 stalk Celery Adds crunch and freshness; substitute with bell pepper for a different texture.
  • 1 piece Green Onion Finely sliced; chives can be a fresh substitute.
  • 75 g Walnuts Roughly chopped; swap with pecans or sunflower seeds for a nut-free option.
  • 3 tbsp Cornichon Finely chopped; use dill pickles if cornichons aren't available.
  • 1 tbsp Dill Finely chopped; fresh parsley can also work well.
For the Sauce
  • 160 g Whole Egg Mayonnaise Creates a creamy base for the filling; Greek yogurt is a lighter alternative.
  • 160 g Sour Cream Or full-fat yogurt; you can use all mayonnaise for a richer option.
  • 2 tsp Dijon Mustard Enhances flavor; yellow or whole grain mustard are great alternatives.
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice Brightens the flavor profile; replace with white wine vinegar if needed.
  • ½ tsp Onion Powder Adds an additional layer of flavor; fresh onion can be used, just adjust the amount.
  • ¼ tsp Garlic Powder Imparts a subtle garlic flavor; substitute with fresh minced garlic for a bolder taste.
  • ¾ tsp Kosher Salt Enhances overall flavor; use less table salt if that's what you have.
  • ¼ tsp Black Pepper Provides seasoning and slight heat; adjust to your taste.
For the Assembly
  • Salted Butter For spreading; creates a crispy, golden outer layer; olive oil is a dairy-free option.
  • 20 slices White Sandwich Bread Preferably day-old; holds filling and provides structure; whole wheat bread can be used for added fiber.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • sharp knife

Method
 

Directions
  1. Step 1: Shred the Chicken. Begin by finely shredding 500g of cooked chicken meat using your hands or a mixer. Aim for a texture that is smooth with no large chunks.
  2. Step 2: Make the Sauce. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 160g of whole egg mayonnaise, 160g of sour cream, 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, ½ teaspoon of onion powder, ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder, ¾ teaspoon of kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon of black pepper. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Combine Filling. In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken with the prepared sauce and add in 1 finely chopped celery stalk, 1 finely sliced green onion, 75g of roughly chopped walnuts, 3 tablespoons of finely chopped cornichons, and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped dill. Stir gently until all ingredients are well coated in the sauce.
  4. Step 4: Prepare Bread. Take 20 slices of white sandwich bread and spread a thin layer of salted butter on one side of each slice. Set the prepared slices aside as you start assembling your sandwich.
  5. Step 5: Assemble Sandwiches. Place about 100g of the chicken mixture on one slice of bread (buttered side down) and cover it with another slice (buttered side up). Trim the crusts off each sandwich for a neat presentation.
  6. Step 6: Chill. Once assembled, place the sandwiches in the refrigerator for 15-30 minutes.
  7. Step 7: Slice and Serve. After chilling, remove the sandwiches from the refrigerator. Slice each sandwich into halves or quarters and serve cold on a platter.
