Method

  1. Bring water to a rolling boil with ginger, garlic, and whole spices; add the chicken breasts, return to a gentle boil, then cover and simmer for 12-18 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F internally.

  2. Remove the chicken, let it cool, and shred it using your hands, forks, or a stand mixer.

  3. Combine the shredded chicken with mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, softened butter, salt, black pepper, sugar, and the finely chopped vegetables.

  4. Stir in splashes of cream until the filling becomes creamy and spreadable.

  5. Generously stuff the mixture into soft brioche rolls or fluffy white bread and enjoy.
