Can I change up the sandwich toppings?

Of course, you may. You can add chopped olives, pickled jalapenos, or sun-dried tomatoes for added zing. This sandwich is otherwise loaded with mayo and cream. Another option is to play around with hot sauces. Add your favorite sauce like Sriracha sauce, Tabasco sauce, or Schezwan sauce to the mayo for added heat.

What kind of bread should I choose?

I used the regular sandwich bread for this recipe. You can also use focaccia bread, ciabatta bread, or french bread. I trimmed off the edges of the sandwich bread and since it is a cold chicken sandwich, I never pan-grilled the sandwiches. That said, always use fresh, soft bread. You can grill the sandwiches once assembled in a grill pan or sandwich griller.

Can I use leftover rotisserie chicken for making sandwiches?

Absolutely! In fact, I would recommend it with all my heart. In fact, whenever I prepare Whole Chicken Roast , I end up with leftovers, especially the breast pieces. These often go inside my sandwiches or quesadillas because we do not like to consume the leftover rotisserie chicken in the same form. Shred these up, add to the sauce, and spread on a piece of bread and you are good to go. Further, you can also use leftover turkey from Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner as well.

Do not worry, if you do not have leftover roast chicken. I got you covered. Simply follow the below steps.

Wash, clean, and pound about 250gms of chicken breasts.
Sprinkle salt and crushed pepper onto them and coat well.
Heat oil in a pan and add the chicken breasts. Flip and cook on both sides. It will take about 7-10 minutes.
Remove and shred using a fork. You may also add the cooked chicken to a blender to get shredded chicken. However, cool the chicken before adding it to the blender.

You may also spice up the filling by adding chopped olives, jalapenos, or sun-dried tomatoes. Another option would be to add a dash of a hot sauce of your choice, like Sriracha sauce, Tabasco sauce, or Schezwan sauce.
