Key Ingredients Explained

Chicken

Chicken is the main filling in this chicken vegetable sandwich recipe. Cooked chicken means chicken that is already cooked and cool enough to slice. Sliced means cut into thin, flat pieces. The chicken must be fully cooked, with no pink meat inside.

Bread and mayonnaise

Bread holds the sandwich together. Mayonnaise is a soft, white spread. It keeps the bread moist and adds a mild taste.

Lettuce, tomato, and cucumber

These vegetables are fresh and crisp. Crisp means they break with a light crunch. Cut them into thin slices so they fit well in the sandwich.
