Step-by-Step Process with Pictures

Here are the step-by-step directions on how to prepare the Chicken Sandwich with the provided instructions.

1. Heat oil in a pan over medium flame. Add boneless chicken pieces and sauté until the color changes.

2. Toss in minced garlic and sprinkle with the spices(chicken tikka masala and black pepper powder). Continue frying until the chicken is cooked through, which typically takes 5-7 minutes.

3. Once the chicken is cooked, add the red chili sauce.

4. As the chicken cooks, prepare the toast. Spread mayo on one slice of toast. Place cheese slices on top of the mayo layer. Add a generous portion of salad greens on top of the cheese. Sprinkle mustard sauce over the salad greens.

5. In the same pan where the chicken was cooked, make the sauce. Add butter to the pan and allow it to melt.

6. Stir in flour to create a roux. Cook until the flour becomes fragrant.

7. Gradually pour in milk and cream, stirring constantly until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.

8. Toss the cooked chicken and olives in the sauce until it’s evenly coated.

9. Place the chicken mixture on second slice of bread. Top it with the third slice of bread to assemble a sandwich.

10. Brown the assembled sandwich in the pan until the bread turns golden and crispy on both side. Enjoy this homemade creamy chicken sandwich with fries or a dip of your choice.

Note: After tossing the cooked chicken in the sauce, remember to give it a quick taste test to check the spices and salt levels. After adding chicken with the sauce, you’ll find that they balances out beautifully. This simple trick eliminates the need to add extra spices to the sauce.

Variations

When making variations to your Chicken Sandwich, you have the flexibility to customize it according to your liking.

Choosing Salad Toppings

By opting for salad toppings in your Chicken Sandwich such as pickles, olives, and tomatoes, are entirely optional. These ingredients enhance the overall taste of the sandwich, as I believe every ingredient has its own unique taste.

Skipping the Sauce

If you decide to skip the sauce part of the sandwich, you can simply spread the chicken directly onto the bread. This minimalist approach also saves time without the addition of a sauce. It can create a simpler, healthier more streamlined sandwich while still being flavorful and enjoyable
