About this recipe

This rotisserie chicken sandwich is a no cook, easy chicken sandwich that anyone can make. This easy chicken sandwich only requires a few ingredients from the grocery store.

The main ingredient in this recipe, the rotisserie chicken, is picked up at the store making this really easy. For me, rotisserie chicken makes meals so much easier and it makes for quick weeknight meals.

Here are the ingredients you will need

• Store bought rotisserie chicken (or leftover rotisserie chicken meat).
• Goat cheese
• Fresh baguette
• Arugula
• Dressing (olive oil, dijon, rice wine vinegar, water).
• Kosher salt.

All of these ingredients are items that you can easily pickup at the grocery store. Once you have picked up these items from the store, there is no cooking involved, just assembly.

It really is so simple!

PRO-TIP:

If you want to skip making your own dressing, just look for dijon vinaigrette in the store while you are picking up your other ingredients.

Steps to make this easy chicken sandwich:

There are not many steps to make these easy chicken sandwiches. The name of the game here is assembling everything.

If you have 5 minutes, you can make these delicious chicken sandwiches

The first thing you want to do is make a simple dijon dressing for the sandwiches. This is just adding all of the ingredients for the dijon dressing into a bowl and whisking.

Very simple! This is the easiest tastiest dressing.

After you make the dressing you add arugula to the bowl and toss that well. This is the delicious flavor that sits on top of the rotisserie chicken.

Arugula and dijon dressing are a match made in heaven! The flavors of this dijon salad topping goes so well with the chicken and goat cheese int he sandwich.

Trust me!

Now it is time to prepare the baguette. You will slice the baguette lengthwise for your sandwich.

After you slice the baguette, you want to spread the softened goat cheese over the bottom side of the bread. The goat cheese adds tangy flavor and protects the bread from becoming too soft from the other ingredients.

It is the best sandwich spread and as I mentioned above, it goes so well with the dijon arugula sandwich topping.

Now it is assembling time! Grab the shredded rotisserie chicken and add that on top of the baguette.

The very last step is topping the chicken with the dijon and arugula salad mix and placing the the top of the bread over that.

I told you this was very simple. Even though this chicken sandwich is easy, it is really big on flavor.

Tips for making this sandwich

Make sure you are using the freshest baguette you can find, preferably bought the same day you are ready to make this. You do not want the sandwich to be too tough.

Depending on where you live, rotisserie chicken can sell out fast, usually in the morning. If you know this is the case or are not sure, you can purchase the rotisserie chicken in the morning and refrigerate it until dinner.

If you want to use leftover chicken for this recipe instead of rotisserie chicken, just finely shred the leftover chicken with two forks and use in place of the rotisserie chicken. You can also add the leftover chicken to a food processor and lightly pulse it until it shreds.

To re-heat the rotisserie chicken, just wrap it in aluminum foil (make sure to pour the juices over the meat) and place in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes until warmed through. You can make these rotisserie chicken sandwiches without re-heating the chicken as well.

It is just a matter of preference. Do what you prefer!

Serving these chicken sandwiches

Sometimes it is nice to give a little more attention to the presentation of our food by dressing it up a bit. I like cutting sheets of parchment paper to cover the middle half of the baguettes.

After I do that, I like to tie them with a little kitchen twine. This step is totally optional but it looks beautiful and is a great way to serve these rotisserie chicken sandwiches to family and friends.
