Sandwiches de Pollo
Sandwiches de Pollo are Latin American–style chicken sandwiches made with cooked and shredded, grilled, or breaded chicken breast served between slices of bread and often combined with mayonnaise, tomato, onion, and lettuce.
Ingredientes
- 200 g frozen boneless chicken breast fillet (After cooking and shredding, the chicken yielded about 170 g)
- 1½ liters water
- 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon (such as Knorr), optional
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 small onion , grated and squeezed to remove excess liquid
- 2 tablespoons green pepper , chopped
- 3 garlic cloves , finely grated
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro or parsley , finely chopped
Instrucciones
- Cook the Chicken: Place the chicken breast in a pressure cooker with 1½ liters of water and 1 tablespoon chicken bouillon.
- Cook under pressure for 20 minutes. Remove the chicken and shred it by hand. Reserve the cooking broth for another use if desired.
- Prepare the Filling: Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the grated onion and chopped bell pepper and sauté until lightly golden. Add the finely grated garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.
- Season the Chicken: Add the shredded chicken to the pan. Stir in the salt, black pepper, paprika, turmeric, and oregano.
- Mix well and cook for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chopped cilantro and mix well. Transfer the filling to a bowl and allow it to cool completely.
- Portion the Filling: Divide the chicken filling into 3 equal portions. Each sandwich uses about ½ cup tightly packed shredded chicken.
- Assemble the Sandwich: Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on each slice of bread. Place one portion (½ cup) of shredded chicken filling on top.
- Add thin cucumber slices and grated carrot. Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper, drizzle with olive oil, and top with lettuce leaves. Close the sandwich and serve.
Notas
Make Ahead: The chicken filling can be prepared one day in advance and stored in the refrigerator until ready to assemble the sandwiches.
Freezing: Not recommended.
