Ingredients
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
- 4 sandwich rolls
- 1/4 cup herb aioli
- 1/4 cup sweet onion jam
- 1 cup arugula
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of shredded rotisserie chicken, 4 sandwich rolls, 1/4 cup of herb aioli, 1/4 cup of sweet onion jam, and 1 cup of arugula.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) if you prefer your sandwich rolls toasted. This step is optional but adds a nice crunch to the sandwich.
- While the oven is preheating, shred the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces if it isn’t already shredded. Place the shredded chicken in a medium bowl.
- If you are toasting the sandwich rolls, place them on a baking sheet and put them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes or until they are warm and slightly crispy.
- In a small bowl, combine the herb aioli and sweet onion jam. Mix well until both ingredients are evenly incorporated. This will be your flavorful spread for the sandwiches.
- Once the rolls are toasted, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Slice each sandwich roll in half horizontally.
- Spread a generous amount of the herb aioli and sweet onion jam mixture on the bottom half of each sandwich roll.
- Layer the shredded rotisserie chicken evenly on top of the spread, distributing it among the four rolls.
- Add a handful of arugula on top of the chicken for a fresh, peppery flavor.
- Top each sandwich with the other half of the roll to complete the assembly.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately, or wrap them in parchment paper for a picnic or lunch on the go. Enjoy your delicious rotisserie chicken sandwiches!
Tips
- Choose a high-quality rotisserie chicken for maximum flavor and tenderness.
- Toast the sandwich rolls for added texture, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Mix the herb aioli and sweet onion jam thoroughly to ensure an even, balanced spread.
- Use fresh arugula for a crisp, peppery contrast to the rich chicken and creamy sauce.
- For extra indulgence, slightly warm the shredded chicken before assembling the sandwich.
- If preparing in advance, keep ingredients separate and assemble just before serving to maintain optimal texture.
- Experiment with different bread types like ciabatta or sourdough for unique flavor profiles.
