Say chicken sandwich, and the first thing that comes to mind is the chicken salad sandwich, the filling being the ubiquitous shredded chicken breast meat with mayonnaise. But the term chicken sandwich can mean so much more. So why not a chicken teriyaki sandwich?
In this recipe, the centrepiece of the sandwich is the filling of chicken teriyaki and pan-fried mushrooms. Dispensing with the usual mayo base, honey-mustard sauce was spread on the bottom bread slice before the sandwich was assembled.
This chicken teriyaki sandwich recipe presupposes that you have already cooked your chicken teriyaki and pan-fried mushrooms. However, you can boil the teriyaki marinade until thickened and spoon a teaspoonful on the chicken before topping it with mushrooms.
