Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Shredded cooked chicken
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon Grated fresh ginger
- 4 tablespoons Chopped green onions
- 2 tablespoons Chopped cilantro
- 2 teaspoons Toasted sesame seeds
- 1 cup Chopped almonds (optional)
- 4 pieces Bread or sandwich rolls
- 4 leaves Butter lettuce leaves (optional)
Instructions
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.
