"This recipe makes one sandwich. For the bread use soft, thick sliced challah or brioche. The chicken is poached in ginger, but if you want to use leftover chicken from another meal or a rotisserie chicken, it will still be delicious. Just cook the ginger, but don't re-cook the chicken."

ingredients

2 cups water
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, cut crosswise into 1/4-inch slices (use 1 3-inch piece)
4 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts (1 small)
¹⁄₂ teaspoon ground ginger
2 teaspoons mayonnaise

directions

Bring ginger slices and water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat; reduce heat to medium low and cook ginger for 5 minutes.
Add chicken (should be completely submerged), cover, and remove from heat; let sit for 15 to 20 minutes until it is not pink in the center.
Transfer to a plate to cool, reserving some of the cooking liquid and the cooked ginger slices.
Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine ground ginger with 1 teaspoon of the cooking liquid; stir to dissolve.
Finely chop 8 of the cooked ginger slices and add them to the bowl.
Add mayonnaise, green onion, salt, and pepper; mix well.
Once cooled, cut the chicken into large chunks and add to bowl; toss to coat with dressing.
Taste and add more chopped ginger if necessary.
Assemble sandwich by spreading one piece of bread with chicken salad.
Arrange snow peas on top, then cover with another slice of bread.

We may live without poetry, music and art;   We may live without conscience and live without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books, But civilized man cannot live without cooks.   He may live without books -- what is knowledge but grieving? He may live without hope-- what is hope but deceiving? He may live without love -- what is passion but pining? But where is the man that can live without dining? -- Owen Meredith     I'm an all-American original, having lived in Hawaii, New York, Texas, South Carolina, and Miami.  I also served 7 years in the US Army.  My husband is from Bogota, Colombia and has also lived in the former Soviet Union.  But now we are both in NY.   Tomasi enjoyes a bath! <a href=http://s845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/?action=view&current=tomas.jpg target=_blank><img src=http://i845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/tomas.jpg border=0 alt=Photobucket /></a>   Some of my recipes: <object width=480 height=360 data=http://w845.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/12cdcf0a.pbw type=application/x-shockwave-flash> <param name=data value=http://w845.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/12cdcf0a.pbw /> <param name=src value=http://w845.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/12cdcf0a.pbw /> <param name=wmode value=transparent /> </object> <a href=http://photobucket.com/slideshows target=_blank><img src=http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif alt=/ /></a><a href=http://s845.photobucket.com/albums/ab15/luseaann/?action=view?t=12cdcf0a.pbw target=_blank><img src=http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif alt=/ /></a>     I also have the genealogy bug!  I've been tracing my roots for at least 10 years.  One branch came to America just after the Mayflower in the early 1600s.  Others came in the early 1700s, late 1890s.  So, my American roots run pretty deep and I am deeply patriotic.  Just wish someone had thought to same me some land!
