Chicken Salad Sandwiches

When asked the question: What type of sandwich do you like?  Because you know, I get asked that all the time. Haha just kidding.  But seriously what kind of sandwich would you say if anytime in your life someone asked you that?  Still thinking?  I know there are so many different types and all are very tasty especially when you put anything edible between two pieces of bread. :)

Now you will be asking yourself that what does a sandwich have to do with Ramadan since the holy month is still going on.  Sandwiches are a great extra if you are having a party.  Seriously who doesn't like sandwiches?  On the table, you can put it right next to those other fried foods (pakora, samosa, etc) that you can grab easily and eat without a spoon.  It is a much healthier option and tastes great.

I will be telling you how I make a simple chicken salad sandwich, that I normally put during Ramadan parties and any other month ones.  As I mentioned in an earlier entry, the measurements aren't totally exact but don't worry you can't go wrong with this one. :)

Ingredients

For the chicken:

• 1 lb of boneless chicken or more depending on how many guests are coming
• 1 Tablespoon garlic/ginger paste
• salt
• 1 Tbsp Shan Tandoori Chicken Masala
• little bit of water

Other ingredients:

• Cucumber - peeled and cut into small pieces
• 2 Tbsp light mayonnaise
• black pepper
• bread - I like to use whole-wheat.

Cooking

1. You want to put all the ingredients for the chicken together in a pot on low-medium heat 
2. You can add a half cup of water and just let the chicken cook until all the water is gone and the chicken is soft and cooked well. 
3. Shred the chicken with your hands or with a spoon and add the cucumbers, mayonnaise and black pepper.  Mix it.
4. You have your mixture.  Now, you can put it on the bread and ENJOY!

I wanted to keep this one a little shorter and easier.  More hard ones will come later when I am at my own home doing the cooking.  Right now I am at my mom's house so it is a little harder to show you more pictures.

Until next time, Eat Smart!
