1 (3 to 4 pound) roasted chicken*, skin and bones discarded, meat diced small
4 red jalapenos, seeded and diced
1/2 cup red onion, diced
1/2 cup chopped roasted pistachios, chopped
2 tablespoons roasted garlic paste

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, mix all of the ingredients together until well incorporated and evenly distributed. Assemble the sandwiches by layering the chicken salad, lettuce, and tomato. Serve.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality mayonnaise. Look for a brand that is made with real eggs and oil, and avoid brands that contain a lot of fillers or preservatives.

  • Serve chicken salad on a variety of breads or crackers. Some popular options include croissants, bagels, crackers, or lettuce wraps.
  • Chicken salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for meal prep or potlucks.
