You are correct. There are more olive choices than ever, and I love "olive them".

Not "olive them all"?

Tzatziki sauce spread on the bread would really take this sandwich to the next level.

I like the spiciness of a pepperocini pepper in my Greek Salad. I would include that in the sandwich.

@Fireal4632

Pepperocini not spicy. Do people think they are? Not trying to be an arse I like more heat then that. Pepperocini taste like pickles to me tangy.

Sneak in a little greek yogurt and red wine vinegar and you got me there, chief.

Yes! The Greek yogurt will help the sandwich hold together better too.

Chopped salads were a gamechanger for me actually eating vegetables/salads. Throwing it into a sandwich makes perfect sense.

Me, too. I hate it when restaurant salads consist of huge pieces and whole lettuce leaves. So hard to eat

Yeah!! Chef John is approaching 4.5 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS!! Way to go Chef! 💯👌

I think tzatziki would put this over the roof!

5 minutes ago I just watched my first video I’ve ever seen of you. It was from 13 years ago and you had laryngitis that episode. New here but glad you’re still uploading.

beautiful sandwich, my John. If you wanted a "creamy" style dressing, rather than adding the lemon juice, olive oil, feta and oregano individually, you could add them to a small bowl and add maybe a tablespoon of good Greek yogurt and mix those together (and maybe add a little garlic salt or granulated garlic to it as well. And then once it's all mixed together use that as the dressing/ binder for the chop. Either way would be delicious. 🤤 *side note - you basically made the Greek Salad that I pretty much make weekly, but then chopped it up and stuffed it into a sandwich lol

@heidis4677

Or tsatziki for the dressing

I think by chopping it up smaller the flavors have more surface to coat. Hence a much better taste. Thanks Chef John! This looks so tasty

I recommend that you this on a warmed Kontos pocketless pita. (olive oil rubbed/white). I did not get hit with a broom and cursed at in Greek for nearly a decade to see this on a crusty roll.

Love it when my first response to a new video is to print out the recipe and head to the kitchen, LOL!! This really sounds delicious.

i used to make a sandwich like this from leftovers for days after roasting a lamb shoulder. Great recipe. Some Garlic sauce or Tzatziki really takes it to another level. One time i made the lamb sandwiches with some Truffle infused oil(which was what i had at the time at the back of the cupboard) and that was outrageous. Good times!!!

I feel that this would be super tasty in a pita pocket!

Definitely add the tzatziki sauce spread on the bread!

I love the fact that you promote Greek food. Our cuisine is underrated

I love your voice. When you speak it feels like home. You're my internet dad 💕 Thank you for sharing your knowledge 🥰

What a great idea! Combining two favorites into one! You’re always full of creative ideas !

I love chopped salad; never had a chopped sandwich, but will definitely try this! So many variations and virtually no cooking; what's not to love? And, when it comes to French fries on sandwiches, I do believe it was invented at Rutgers in New Brunswick, NJ, because they've been serving them since the early 70s!

chef john, you are a most inspirational sandwich maker! Thank you for being you, dear fellow.

Seems like another way to make a chicken salad sandwich. I love the traditional chicken salad, the cape cod chicken salad with the nuts and grapes in it and now this version. Yum to all the Chicken Salad Recipes out there no matter how they’re made.

We Yinzers also put French fries on steak salads. I do not know why we do this.

Salad Sandwiches are delicious!🤤

Looks wonderful, light and fresh. 🎉

I made this yesterday and my family loved it. Thank you for doing the video

Will try this recipe...ty chef John

Looks amazing! Great warm weather meal!

As a person of Lebanese ancestry, I find the olive selection at my local grocery store to be terribly limited. Only 12 varietals? How do you people live like this??

We Love all Your recipes ❤Thank You so much from my family !

Wow Chef John, You hit it out of the park today! What a beautiful sandwich on a hot summer night!

One thing that I might consider as a modification is adding a bit of tzatziki to it

For olives the reason there's morre variety than other produce is because once jarred they have a very long shelf life so it's easy to stock multiple varieties as opposed to fruit where only a few may be in season at a single time

I have adopted your use of cayenne in pretty much everything!

This may just become my favourite way to use up chicken. Tried it earlier this week and it is delicious!

Yummy! Love greek anything.😊

Good idea for recipe! Will have to try this

That looks amazing!

That looks really good.

I'm loving the healthier options

Another thing I found that people from Pittsburgh do is when they make French onion soup, they sauté their onions in Cabernet. It’s a great flavor that I never tasted in any other city. I always wondered if it was just a regional thing.

What a great looking sandwich! Thanks for the idea

Great idea

Why, why, why do I watch this channel when I'm already hungry?

This looks heavenly 😋 I love salad sandwiches 😄🥗🥪♥️

This looks lovely but I really want to stuff it into a pita bread instead of a roll

Then you have to change the name from a sandwich to a yiro.

I have done this with a Greek salad from my grocery store and added chicken. I used the dressing included with the salad.

Wow , must do this. Great summer dinner.❤❤

This is incredibly similar to a Mexican sandwich called a "Torta." It has the chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, and onion, but instead of Feta cheese it's usually Monterrey Jack, and instead of olives, it's cilantro. And there's no dressing, but I spread some mashed avocado on one slice of bread, and refried beans (or bean dip as a time-saver) are spread on the other slice.

looks good.

Chef John saying "the o-o-old-*insert action here*" will never not fail to make me smile

Looks yaammmy!

Hilarious narrative, and John a good man 👌😊

A sandwich topped with some fresh but a little greasy French fries is amazing, burgers too.

*O* *M* *G* ... _this_ _is_ _divine_ *!!!*

How cool is that? Now I have to get up from my couch and make it immediately! 😀😀

Great for a picnic.

This looks amazing, I need to try this for weekend lunch with the hubs sometime

Ah man, fantastic!

This is one of the best jobs you've ever done.

Being doing something similar with tortillas, i only pull the chicken and have normal slices of the rest (and olive paste, the dark one), truly a lifesaver quick night food. The combination of tomato, Feta, and black olives is top tier, especially in pasta sauces, with the addition of various herbs and spices.

Love the Caddyshack reference!

Excellent work as always Chef John! Very nice recipe, though as a Greek we wouldn't put lettuce in our Greek salad. Try Armenian cucumber instead of the regular one and also add some cappers and pickled crithmum in it !

Chef John has so much self-control I would've made enough filling for like 5 sandwiches lol This sounds so delicious going to have to make this one day!

This looks fantastic! I’ll add Greek pepperoncini and maybe a small amount of beets. Yum

You are the best

The most difficult part of this recipe for me was sourcing the Greek chicken. Once I got past that, and shipping was a thing, the sandwiches came out wonderfully 😊 Thanks for another great idea Chef.

Looks so good! I think I would add some walnuts, too1

You are the Francis Ford Coppola of how you do the choppa-choppa-chopola.

Great recipe and a tip I'd never thought about: "A roll with pointy ends stays together better than one with square ends." Never occurred to me.

Definitely doing this on some top quality pita bread. Less messy and fewer calories.

A drizzle of Greek olive oil is needed. Then wrap it in a tortilla with chopped avocado and capers as an added bonus. 👍 Now I have the munchies.

I’m hungry now

"...some fresssshhhly ground black pepper..." 😊❤

I have horrible knives but i think this will work well in my food chopper.

I was just stressing about what to make for dinner because my fridge is almost empty. I have mainly these same ingredients except for chicken. I’m going to make this but to top a burger patty instead and now I can’t wait for dinner!

I love doing this but i like using a toasted pita bread

Now to make an episode on a Primanti's sammich!

we call them rolls in Australia, a sandwich is something between 2 slices of bread, just a fun fact

Sounds like a wonderful sandwich, but I would eat it as a salad.

Been doing this as comfort food for my entire adult life except that instead of a bun I make a large bowl of this and a pack of soft tortillias that I fill with this and some cesar dressing / sourcream based sauce.

Dr. Chef John, how do you clean your cutting board after this? I have a nice cutting board, I don't use it all that much cause I don't know the best way to clean it.

Missed opportunity to spread greek yogurt on the bun, or to make a quick tzatziki. Everything's better with tzat on it.

Appreciate the Caddy Shack reference. 😂

Greek yogurt instead of mayo... but it looks good.

😋 yum
