It’s easy to make fun of the chopped sandwich trend, until you make one for yourself, and realize what a great idea it actually is. No one is saying that eating a non-chopped sandwich isn’t enjoyable, but there is just something a little more special about this particular format. Maybe it’s all that extra surface area, since as I’ve said many times before, surface area equals flavor. Or, maybe it’s getting exactly the same amount of all the ingredients in every single bit, but whatever’s going on, I think you’re going to love the results.

I love everything we chopped up for this, so above and beyond the technique, I wasn’t surprised I enjoyed it so much, but if these ingredients aren’t your thing, simply think of sandwich components you do love, and start chopping. A great sandwich roll is one of the keys here, so find something nice. No matter what you chop after you shop, I loved this delicious change of pace, and really do hope you give this a try soon. Enjoy!

Ingredients

1 sandwich roll
6 ounces cooked chicken
1/4 cup thinly sliced green pepper
4 grape tomatoes, thinly sliced, or more to taste
4 slices English cucumber, or more to taste
6 pitted Greek olives, halved, or more to taste
3 thin slices red onion, or more to taste
1 cup thickly sliced hearts of Romaine
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano, or to taste
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Directions

Cut sandwich roll 3/4 of the way in, and if desired, remove some of the crumb from the inside to make more room for filling.
Pile up chicken, green pepper, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and onion. Season with salt, black pepper, cayenne, and oregano, and then use a cleaver or large knife to chop everything into about 1/2-inch pieces.
Add Romaine, and chop again until everything into about 1/4-inch pieces, or as fine as you want.
Top with feta, lemon juice, and olive oil. Perform one last, brief chopping until everything is evenly mixed. Taste and adjust seasoning. Transfer filling into roll, and serve immediately.
