Hacked Chipotle Chicken Salad Sandwiches Recipes

Steps:

• Fry the Sichuan peppercorns in the oil for 15 minutes. Discard the peppercorns, and reserve 4 1/2 tablespoons of oil for this recipe. (Save remainder for another purpose.)
• Skin and bone the chicken, then plunge it into boiling water and simmer till just barely cooked through, about 5 minutes. Cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips 3 inches long.
• Combine the peanut butter and sesame oil till smooth. Stir in all the remaining ingredients except the cilantro.
• Add 2 teaspoons of the red pepper flakes and then taste, adding up to 2 more according to your tolerance. Then add as much of your newly made Sichuan oil as necessary to make a sauce that isn't overly oily.
• Arrange the chicken on a platter, spoon the sauce over it and sprinkle the cilantro on top. Serve at room temperature.

Steps:

• Remove chicken from bone in large chunks, with some skin if desired, and toss together with onion and black beans in a large bowl.
• Purée cilantro, chipotles, oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper in a blender, then add to chicken mixture.
• Cut avocado into 1/2-inch cubes, without cutting through peel.
• Toss chicken mixture with chips. Scoop avocado into chicken mixture with a spoon. Serve salad on romaine leaves.

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and pan-fry chicken breasts until browned and no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes per side.
• Sprinkle chicken breasts with red wine vinegar, lime juice, sugar, salt, black pepper, 1 chopped green onion, garlic, and oregano; pan-fry until green onion is soft, an additional 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken breasts to a plate and keep warm.
• Place light mayonnaise and chipotle pepper into a blender and blend until smooth. Transfer to a bowl and stir in 1 1/2 tablespoon of chopped green onion and sweet pickle relish.
• Toast sourdough bread slices.
• Layer 4 bread slices each with 1/4 cup of lettuce, a chicken breast, and 1 mozzarella cheese slice. Spread remaining slices with chipotle mayonnaise and place on top to make sandwiches. Serve while still warm.
