Chilean Chicken Mayo Sandwich recipe
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 2 breads (frica, marraqueta, kneaded)
- 4 tablespoons of mayonnaise
- 1 garlic clove
- ¼ red onion
- Merkén (Chilean spice)
- Salt
- Pepper
Preparation
- In a medium pot, add the clean chicken breasts and cover with cold water. Heat over medium heat, add the whole garlic, onion, a bit of salt, and cook covered for about 20 minutes until the meat is well cooked and tender. Drain the water and discard the garlic and onion.
- While the meat is still warm, process it in a blender, food processor, or simply mash it with a fork until you achieve the desired texture. Cool completely, add the mayonnaise, and gently stir until a homogeneous paste forms. Season with salt, pepper, and optionally add a pinch of merkén.
- Open the marraquetas and gently remove some of the bread inside. Toast until warm and then fill each base with the chicken mayo mixture to taste. Optionally, sprinkle some chopped cilantro or chives and close the sandwich.
- Serve the chicken mayo sandwich immediately and, if desired, accompany it with lettuce leaves or slices of fresh tomato.
Chicken Mayo with Bell Pepper
A popular variation of the traditional Chilean chicken mayo is to add cooked red bell pepper to the mixture, giving the dish a deeper and spicier flavor.
