Thai Style Curried Chicken Salad Sandwiches
1 larger chicken breast
2 ½ Tblsp cherry jam
⅓ cup green onions, finely chopped
2 tsp Spiva Cooking Red Curry seasoning
1 Tblsp soy sauce or tamari
½ lime, juiced
½ cup mayo
½ english cucumber, sliced in thin rounds
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 pint avocado oil
8 slices good bread
- Fill a small pot with enough water to cover the chicken breast and add a few pinches of salt.
- Bring to a simmer and then turn down to very low so the water is just barely simmering. Cover. Cook for about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat another smaller pot with the avocado oil on medium high heat.
- Once the chicken is tender and able to be shredded, drain and remove from the heat. Shred with a fork and allow to cool.
- Add the cherry jam, green onions, Red Curry seasoning, soy sauce, lime juice, and mayo to a bowl and mix with the shredded chicken.
- Add the avocado oil to a small pot and bring to 325 degrees F.
- Add half the sliced scallions in the oil carefully, giving them a stir. Allow to fry, stirring occasionally, until golden brown.
- Use a strainer to lift the scallions out of the oil and allow to drain on a paper towel. Season with a pinch of salt.
- Divide the chicken salad between the 8 slices of bread and top 3 pieces of bread with cucumber slices.
- Add a handful of fried onions on top of the cucumbers.
- Top with the remaining 3 slices of bread and carefully slice each sandwich with a serrated knife into 3 thin rectangles. If you wish, you may remove the crusts depending on your preference.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
