Chicken Salad Sandwiches
RECIPE COURTESY OF INA GARTEN
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 20 min
Prep: 10 min
Inactive: 30 min
Cook: 40 min
Yield: 4 to 5 servings

Ingredients

4 split (2 whole) chicken breasts, bone-in, skin on
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup good mayonnaise, plus more for the bread
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 cup small-diced celery (2 stalks)
8 to 10 slices health or seven-grain bread
1 package mesclun salad mix

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the chicken breasts, skin side up, on a sheet pan and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Set aside to cool.

When the chicken is cool, remove and discard the skin and bones and cut the chicken into 3/4-inch dice. Place the chicken in a bowl and add the mayonnaise, tarragon, celery, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and toss well.

To assemble, spread a little mayonnaise on half the bread slices, top with the chicken salad and mesclun mix, and cover with the remaining slices of bread. Cut in half and serve.

Ina Garten’s Tarragon Chicken Salad | Barefoot Contessa | Food Network

so now I’m going to do chicken salad
sandwiches with a secret ingredient
taragon from my garden it’s a really
good herb sort of like Anis flavor a
little bit and subtle but I think it’ll
make all the difference chicken salad
sandwiches so first I’ve got chicken
roasting in the
oven I just roasted chicken breast skin
on on the bone 35 minutes 350° and
they’re just perfectly done so the first
thing you need is celery it’s really
traditional with chicken salad
it’s got a nice flavor nice
crunch I need about a cup of
celery so lots of
celery can’t make chicken salad without
mayonnaise about 3/4 of a cup of
mayonnaise just going to put it all in
the bowl and then toss it
later okay what do we need next chicken
think should be cool enough to handle
it’s actually great to do the chicken
when it’s still a little warm because
then it really absorbs the sauce so the
chicken breast on the bone it’s going to
take the skin off so much moisture when
it’s done this way at Barefoot we used
to have big fats of boiling water and
poach the chicken breast and it was just
impossible and then all the flavor gets
into the water this way all the flavor
is really stays in it when you roast it
makes such a difference and then I just
do nice bite-sized
chunks going stir all together you lots
of seasoning salt pepper ordinary
ingredients simple ingredients but
delicious chicken salad now I’m just
going to put in two teaspoons of
salt this all depends on how big the
chicken breasts are one teaspoon of
pepper okay time to make the
sandwiches so I’m going to make two
sandwiches with the chicken salad just
as it is and then I’m going to make two
more more with a special
ingredient okay everybody knows how to
make a sandwich little mayonnaise just
to make sure that bread stays moist lots
of chicken
salad I always like something green on
the sandwiches so Little mesin Mix would
be great some kind of
lettuce these are great cuz so washed
mixed
greens okay put the lid on top
top cut them in half so everybody in the
office has a half a sandwich I’m going
to keep one so I can taste
too so this is a tie this
up so I’m going to add tagon to the
chicken salad which is really subtle but
it’s very good with chicken it doesn’t
overpower it something like Rosemary
would really overpower it so just take
the the leaves off give it a rough
chop okay right into the chicken salad
we’ll see if the guys in the office can
tell the difference it already smells
good okay little
mcin little
[Music]
crunch put the tops
on cut them in
half
okay I’m going to wrap them up I’m going
to mark them B I’ll see how the test
goes ready for lunch I’m ready for lunch
okay got sandwiches got a sandwiches and
B sandwiches you have to pick your
favorite all right I’ll give you a call
okay let us know
bye

  1. For years I grew Spanish tarragon and couldn’t figure out why it didn’t taste that wonderful. When I discovered my mistake, I replaced it with French and love it!

  2. I'm not sure how anyone can make chicken salad sandwiches without scallions (green onions) and finely diced red pepper? I also add halved seedless grapes and toasted pecans. I had this in North Carolina and have stuck with this recipe since. ps: It's a good idea to blot your halved grapes on a paper towel and make it one day in advance for the flavours to meld.

  3. Tarragon is an herb best used sparingly. Nutmeg is a spice, but like tarragon must be used in very small quantities.
