Take your sandwich game to the next level with these irresistible Sweet Asian Chicken Salad Sandwiches! Featuring tender shredded chicken coated in a creamy dressing infused with the bold flavors of soy sauce, honey, fresh ginger, and sesame oil, this recipe strikes the perfect balance between sweet and savory. Fresh cilantro, green onions, and a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds add vibrant, aromatic flair, while optional crunchy almonds provide a satisfying texture. Served on soft rolls or hearty bread, with the option of crisp butter lettuce for an extra touch of freshness, these sandwiches are perfect for lunch, picnics, or a light dinner. Ready in just 15 minutes, theyβre a quick and flavorful way to savor the fusion of Asian-inspired ingredients.
In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and grated ginger until smooth and well incorporated.
Add the shredded cooked chicken to the bowl and mix well to coat the chicken evenly in the dressing.
Fold in the chopped green onions, cilantro, sesame seeds, and chopped almonds (if using). Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more soy sauce or honey as needed for balance.
Prepare the bread or sandwich rolls by slicing them in half. Optionally, layer a piece of butter lettuce on the bottom half of each roll.
Scoop the sweet Asian chicken salad generously onto the prepared bread or rolls.
Top with the second half of the bread or roll and serve immediately. Alternatively, wrap the sandwiches tightly in foil or parchment paper and refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving.
