Barbecued Chicken with Blue Cheese and Celery Sandwich

 

                    If you don't have any leftover barbecued chicken, plain cooked chicken will do, especially when tossed with spicy barbecue sauce.

Makes 2 sandwiches

• 1½ cups shredded barbecued chicken
• 3 tablespoons barbecue sauce
• ¼ cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• One-third cup crumbled blue cheese
• 1 scallion, finely chopped
• Salt and ground black pepper, to taste
• 2 Ciabatta rolls
• 1 celery stalk, trimmed, tough outer strings peeled away, and thinly sliced

1. Heat a panini or sandwich press.
2. Combine the chicken and barbecue sauce in a small bowl and stir to coat.
3. Combine the mayonnaise, sour ceam, blue cheese, and scallion ; season with salt and pepper.
4. Slice the rolls in half and spread some blue cheese dressing on the inside of each roll.
5. Arrange the sliced celery on the bottom halves of the rolls ; pile the chicken on top of the celery and top each sandwich with the top half of the roll.
6. Put the sandwiches on the press, pull the top down, and cook until they are brown and crisp, 4 to 7 minutes, depending on how hot your machine is.
7. Carefully remove from the press and serve immediately.
