My mother made this easy Filipino style chicken sandwich which has a sweet taste. In the beginning, I was hesitant because the chicken sandwich is not supposed to taste sweet. But the moment I taste the sandwich, I find it very delicious.

The sweetness of the sandwich blends perfectly with eating side dishes such as french fries or any salty chips. In addition to that, I love eating my sandwiches with pickles. The sweetness from this sandwich and sourness of the pickle fits well.

This homemade chicken sandwich spread is a Filipino version, which is a traditional sandwich here in the Philippines. As you know, Filipino foods are influenced by Spanish, Chinese, and American. Also, in my experience, the locals love making their food sweet or salty, which makes sense why this sandwich has a sweet taste.

The Chicken Spread Sandwich Recipe is based on my mother’s recipe which is very simple since you only need fewer ingredients for this dish. Thankfully, my mother taught me this recipe, which I will be showing you how to make chicken spread Filipino style.

Recipe Ingredients

The ingredients of Chicken Sandwich Spread Recipe is very easy and readily available in any grocery stores.

Chicken Breast- I prefer boneless chicken breast  since it is easy to shred them into pieces

Onion- I use red onion which I put together with the chicken when boiling in the pot. The onion adds a flavor to the chicken. 

Mayonnaise- This is one of the most important condiments for making a  sandwich spread. You can use any type of mayonnaise.

Condensed Milk- In the Philippines, we use condensed milk for our Filipino chicken sandwich spread. The reason why I like to use condensed milk is that it will help give a sweet taste to the chicken but not too sweet

Black Pepper and Salt- You will need to season your chicken spread

Step by Step Instruction

The step to make your homemade chicken spread sandwich is extremely easy. First, add a water in the pot.

• Chopped the onion into bigger square pieces and put the chicken breast into the pot, and wait till its boiling.
• Once the chicken breast is cook, turn off the heat, and remove the chicken from the boiling water. Wait till it cool down.
• Shred the chicken breast into pieces, and add mayonnaise, salt, black pepper and condensed milk to make a spread.

• Lastly, once you are done, prepare two slice of bread, add lettuce and spread your sandwich. Put in the grill toaster, and wait till it is done or has crispy texture.
• Serve it with fries, vegetables or pickles, and you are done. You can slice your sandwich into 4 smaller pieces like the picture below.

What bread to use for this sandwich spread?

In this recipe, I am using just an ordinary white sliced bread. However, if you prefer something different, you can use other kinds of bread. Based on my experience, here is the list of bread that you can use to spread or dip on your sandwiches.

• Baguette Bread
• Bagel
• Croissant
• Crackers

Variation and Tips

• If you prefer gluten-free, there are some types of mayonnaise, such as Hellman’s, Heinz, or Sir Kensington’s that do not contain gluten or lactose. Also, you don’t need to use condensed milk since it has gluten.
• If you don’t like to use onion, you can switch with chives, green onion, or celery. You can put them along with the mayonnaise, shredded chicken, and the rest of the ingredients.
• For healthier bread, use whole wheat sliced bread since it contains fiber and is low in sugar.
• If you want to store the remaining chicken spread, keep it in a jar. If you made a sandwich ahead and then you put it in the fridge, this may potentially spoil it faster.
• You can also add herbs and spring onion-like celery to enhance the flavor of the chicken spread

Substitution

• If you don’t like to use condensed milk, you can replace it with more mayonnaise and sugar.
• You can use other breads like tortilla, brioche, bagel, croissant or baguette.
• You can use onion powder instead of red onion
