Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 1 rotisserie chicken skin and bones removed
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 celery stalks grated
  • 2 carrots peeled and grated
  • 1 shallot grated
  • 1 garlic clove grated
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Start by placing the rotisserie chicken meat (skin and bones removed) into the bowl of your stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
  • Add the mayonnaise, grated celery, grated carrots, grated shallot, grated garlic, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix on low speed until all ingredients are well combined and the chicken is shredded evenly into the mixture. Be careful not to overmix—you want a creamy, chunky texture.
  • Once mixed, cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • To assemble the sandwich, slice the ciabatta bun in half and spread mayonnaise on both sides.
  • Layer the butter lettuce evenly over the bottom half of the bun, followed by slices of heirloom tomato.
  • Add a generous scoop of the chilled chicken salad on top.
  • Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Close the sandwich with the top bun and serve immediately.
