Artichoke Bacon Chicken Salad Sandwiches Recipes

BACON ARTICHOKE CHICKEN SALAD CROISSANT

Steps:

• *NOTE: You may use grilled, rotisserie or roasted chicken or turkey meat (any part/s of the bird,) though grilled has the best flavor, in my opinion.
• Gather and prep all ingredients (remove skin, debone and chop chicken; drain artichokes and chop after removing any tough outer leaves; wash lettuce; split croissants.)
• Add chicken to an average size mixing bowl; sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt; toss to distribute salt.
• Add Miracle Whip salad dressing; mix with large spoon to coat chicken well.
• Add chopped artichokes and 1/8 cup real bacon bits (do not use imitation; omit bacon if none is available;) mix well.
• Place lettuce leaves on bottom half of croissants; spoon chicken mixture onto lettuce; place croissant tops on top of chicken salad. Serve immediately, or wrap/place in airtight container and refrigerate until served.
• Cover and refrigerate any leftovers.

ARTICHOKE AND CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES RECIPE

Steps:

• Drain artichoke hearts thoroughly, pressing to remove excess liquid. Mash artichokes; stir in mayonnaise or salad dressing. Parmesan cheese, lemon juice and garlic powder. Stir in chicken and celery. Cover and chill in the freezer for 10-15 minutes or in the refrigerator until serving time. Spread the chilled artichoke chicken mixture on 6 of the slices of bread; top each with lettuce. Place the remaining bread slices atop sandwiches. Garnish with cherry tomatoes, if desired.

GAR-LICKY ARTI-CHICKY SANDWICHES

Steps:

• 1. Place chicken in a medium bowl. Drain artichokes, reserving oil for later. Chop once or twice and add to bowl. Add shallots, olives, and asparagus. Mix.
• 2. Smash and chop garlic with salt; place in a small bowl with Miracle Whip, mustard, and pepper. Stir and add to chicken mixture. Mix well. Taste and adjust flavor with more salt or pepper.
• 3. Slice bread into medium-thick slices (up to 12 depending on the number being served immediately). Use reserved artichoke liquid to brush on both sides of bread*. Fill with chicken salad and one or two slices of tomato. *For cold sandwiches, brush the oil only on the interior side of each bread slice.
• 4. Heat a griddle or panini maker and brown sandwiches until both sides are golden brown.
