Provided by Tyler Florence

Time 29m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds total)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup mayonnaise, plus extra, if you like, for spreading
1 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/4 cup chopped, blanched almonds, toasted
1/4 cup raisins
A handful fresh basil leaves, torn
8 slices good-quality, dense white bread such as Tuscan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Heat the oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat until smoking. Sprinkle the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Put them in the pan in a single layer, and brown them 2 minutes on each side. Put the skillet in the oven and roast until the chicken is just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool.
  • Chop the cooled chicken and put it into a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients and toss. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Spread 4 bread slices with mayonnaise, if you like, and spread with the curried chicken. Top with another slice of bread and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality mayonnaise for the best flavor.
  • If you want a spicier sandwich, add more curry powder or cayenne pepper.
  • For a sweeter sandwich, add some raisins or chopped fruit.
  • You can also add chopped nuts or seeds for a crunchy texture.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of bread or wraps. Flatbreads and naan can provide a nice touch depending on your taste preferences.
  • If you're making the sandwich ahead of time, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
  • When you're ready to serve, let the sandwich come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before unwrapping.

Conclusion:

Curried chicken salad sandwiches are a delicious and easy-to-make lunch or dinner option. They're perfect for picnics, potlucks, or a quick weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying sandwich that will surely be a hit.
