This recipe is part of our series on how to turn one whole chicken into four satisfying meals. You’ll need cooked chicken to get started, and a store-bought rotisserie chicken works just as well. The combination that makes this sandwich work is the roasted red pepper with the herbed mayo and the alfalfa sprouts — the sweetness of the pepper, the fresh herby richness of the mayo, the crunch and brightness of the sprouts all do something really good together. Use the best bread you can find. Ciabatta is ideal because it presses into something golden and slightly crispy on the outside while staying soft in the middle. This is the lunch you make once and then crave every time leftover chicken is in the fridge.
Directions
Mix your herbed mayo and spread it generously on both cut sides of the bread.
Layer arugula on the bottom half, then chicken, then roasted red pepper strips, then cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Top with a tangle of alfalfa sprouts and close the sandwich.
Press it down firmly so everything compacts slightly.
For a warm version, place the assembled sandwich in a dry pan or sandwich press over medium heat and press with a weight — a heavy pan works well — for 3-4 minutes per side until the bread is golden and the cheese has melted.
