Ingredients
Bread Slices: Acts as the base and layers of the sandwich, giving it structure and a satisfying crunch when toasted.
Butter: Adds richness and helps toast the bread to a golden. It also prevents the filling from making the bread soggy.
Egg: Adds protein and a soft, fluffy texture that complements the sandwich’s layers beautifully.
Tomatoes: Offer juiciness and freshness, cutting through the richness of the chicken and mayo.
Chicken: The heart of the sandwich, shredded and cooked, it provides a juicy, tender bite. You can prefer ready cooked rotisserie chicken or cook chicken at home.
Mayonnaise: Creamy and smooth, it binds the chicken together and adds a luscious mouthfeel. Store bought or homemade can be used.
Hacks
- Toast the Bread Just Right: Lightly toasting the bread keeps it crisp and prevents it from getting soggy when layered with fillings.
- Use Leftover Chicken: Shred leftover grilled or boiled chicken to save cooking time, perfect for quick prep.
- Chill the Filling: Mixing the chicken with mayo and letting it chill for a few minutes helps enhance the flavor and makes spreading easier.
- Add a Fried Egg for Extra Richness: A sunny-side-up or scrambled egg adds an extra layer of richness and makes the sandwich more filling.
- Butter the Bread Edges: Lightly buttering the outer edges of the bread before toasting adds a golden crunch and restaurant-style finish.
- Secure with Toothpicks: If stacking multiple layers, use toothpicks to hold the sandwich together before cutting.
- Serve with a Dip or Pickle: A side of ketchup, mustard, or a tangy pickle adds extra flavor and balances the richness.

Expert tips
- Use day-old bread: Slightly stale bread toasts better and holds up well with juicy fillings.
- Shred the chicken finely: Finely shredded chicken blends more smoothly with the mayo, making each bite soft and even.
- Chill the filling: Letting the chicken mix chill for a few minutes helps the flavors meld and makes it easier to spread.
- Toast with butter: Toast the bread slices with a thin layer of butter for a golden, cafe-style crisp.
- Add lettuce or cheese: For extra crunch or richness, layer in crisp lettuce or a slice of cheese between the layers.
- Don’t overload the layers: Keep fillings balanced so the sandwich holds together and is easy to eat.
- Secure with a toothpick: If stacking three layers, use toothpicks to hold the sandwich in place before cutting.
