Ingredients
- 2 green unripe plantains, peeled and halved crosswise
- 1/2 cup neutral oil grapeseed, avocado, canola
- 2 cups shredded roast chicken
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 4 stalks of fresh cilantro roughly chopped
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 avocado pitted, peeled, and sliced
- 4 leaves green-leaf or romaine lettuce
- 4 lices ripe tomato
Instructions
- Cut the top and bottom ends off of the plantains. Make 3 slits in the skin of the plantains lengthwise. Remove the peels and cut them in half crosswise. Here is a short video that shows how to peel a green plantain.
- In a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Add the plantain halves and fry until lightly browned, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove to paper towels to drain.
- Using a heavy skillet or a flat-bottomed plate, flatten each plantain into a 1/4-inch thick round disk, or as close to round as you can get. You can do this between sheets of plastic if you want to be extra neat.
- One at a time, return each plantain disk to the oil and fry until golden brown and crisp, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove the cooked plantains to paper towels to drain.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, cilantro, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken is coated.
- Assemble the sandwiches by taking 2 plantain “buns” and spreading half the chicken salad on each. Top with avocado, lettuce, and tomato. Add the other plantains buns to the sandwich and enjoy with plenty of napkins.
- Enjoy!
