Chicken Salad and Apple Sandwich

This Chicken Salad and Apple Sandwich is restaurant-worthy, foodie food that’ll make an everyday, at-home lunch into an elevated, memorable event. And yet it’s so easy!

Chicken Salad and Apple Sandwich

Ingredients

1 cooked chicken breast

1 stalk celery, diced

¼ cup mayo, or more to taste

1 generous Tbs chopped cornichon

1 tsp Dijon or honey mustard

Salt and pepper, to taste

1 sweet-tart apple, such as Honey Crisp or Jazz

1 tsp lemon juice, or more to taste

4 thick slices of sharp cheddar

Directions

• Make the Chicken Salad
• Cut the breast into small dice. Add remaining salad ingredients and mix to combine. Taste to adjust seasoning.
• Assemble the Open-Face Sandwiches
• Thinly slice and core the apple. Toss with lemon juice. Set aside.
• Pre-heat the broiler, or ready a culinary torch.
• Split the bagels in half. Distribute the apple slices among the bagel halves. Divide the chicken salad into four portions, and use them to top the apple slices. Top each sandwich with a slice of cheese.
• Broil the sandwiches just until the cheese melts. Monitor the broiler constantly; its takes almost no time to accomplish this. (Optionally, continue to broil until the cheese browns.) OR, use the torch to melt the cheese.

Notes

• I eat these by hand, although my husband likes a knife and fork.
• In a pinch, you can substitute pickle relish for the cornichons.
• Any method of cooking will work for the breast, from roasting to frying to poaching. I prefer sous vide.
• I like to slice the apple by placing it on its side and slicing it thinly, starting at the stem end. Then, I use a set of small, round pastry cutters to cut out the core from each slice.
• Do the bagels have to be onion? It’s not a deal-breaker, but the way the pungency of the onion bagel plays with the sweetness of the apple contributes a great deal to the sandwich. I’ve used Parmesan bagels as a substitute, and liked them almost as much.
• Although I don’t normally consider it a good substitute, dehydrated lemon powder works really well in this context.
• It’d be worth going to a bagel shop, rather than settling for the bagels you get at a typical grocery store.
• I have a preference for broiling instead of torching, because it slightly warms the sandwich. However, unless you have a toaster oven, the torch is so much more convenient.

The Backstory

Apple picking is a great activity if you’re looking for something you can do with socially-distant, mask-wearing friends, outdoors. There are only so many apples you can eat, though. Thankfully, there is in fact no limit to the number of apple crisps that you can enjoy, and only vague limits on the number of other applicious desserts. Still, sometimes you just gotta have something savory.

For me, this sandwich is a bit of everyday, super-practical, at-home cooking. I will often bring home a roasted chicken from the grocery store, eat both legs and thighs while the bird is still warm, then remove and refrigerate the breasts for a sandwich like this the next day.

Or, I might buy a family-pack of breasts – especially if they’re on sale – and sous vide the bunch of them. I’ll move them straight from the bath to the fridge without opening them, where they’ll be at the ready for a sandwich like this one.

Social Learning

One of the things I love about this sandwich is how the flavors interact. I toss the lemon with the apple not to keep the apple from browning – that’s not really a concern – but to keep the lemon from melding with the chicken salad, so that you can really taste its perfumy, floral brightness as it comingles with the apple. I’ve already talked about the apple and the bagel’s caramelized onion – what a great combo. The tarragon elevates the chicken and gives depth to the salad, and the little hits of pickle keep every bite tasting fresh.

Would I cook chicken in order to make this sandwich? Yes. However, it’s the perfect way to make something fantastic out of leftover chicken.

Chicken salad might as well be a blank canvas that you can paint with whatever palate you like: curry, cranberry, grapes, pecans, walnuts, capers, olives are all great ingredients to either add or build a salad around, and they’d all work perfectly in this sandwich.

I also make a tuna salad version of this sandwich. When I do, I often lay a thick slice of tomato – especially when they’re in season – between the salad and the cheese.
