Chicken Salad Sandwich
Equipment: Instant Pot and Emergent Blender.
This Chicken Salad Sandwich is the epitome of deliciousness in a bite.
Paired with some crispy, or toasted bread, garnished with bacon, lettuce tomatoes, my oh my is it divine!
Something so simple, which by the way, this is such a simple recipe made in the instant pot, can seriously be so mouthwatering good.
Another thing that makes this so simple, is the ingredients we will be using. It's just basic ingredients you probably already have on hand, and it's so quick to put together, whileusing the Instant Pot in this recipe makes this even an easier process as well.
One of the key things to point out in this recipe, is not only adults will love this recipe, but children will also think it's delicious.
My littles absolutely love this sandwich, and this filling can also be used in my chicken puff recipe using my choux dough pastry.
One reason why I think they like it so much, is there is no sharp bite of onion or celery in this recipe. Everything cooks down really well so all the flavor is uniformed.
Let's go ahead and get started making this scrumptious lunch, my chicken salad sandwich in the Instant Pot.
