Chicken sandwich

A chicken sandwich is a sandwich that typically consists of boneless, skinless chicken breast or thigh, served between slices of bread, on a bun, or on a roll. Variations on the "chicken sandwich" include the chicken burger, chicken on a bun, chicken on a Kaiser, hot chicken, or chicken salad sandwich.

In American English, a sandwich is compiled of two pieces of bread with a savoury filling, including rolls, buns, or even chocolate wafers as in ice-cream sandwiches; in British English (and also some other national English varieties, such as those of Canada, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand), the word sandwich is defined more narrowly, to require the pieces of bread to be sliced from a loaf, and a roll or bun with filling would not generally be called a sandwich. A bun with a cooked chicken breast as filling would generally be called a chicken sandwich in the U.S., but in the UK and other Commonwealth or former colonial countries, such a dish is not generally considered a sandwich, and would generally be called a chicken burger instead; most North Americans would not consider such a dish to count as a burger, since Americans generally consider a burger to require a patty made from ground/minced meat.
