Star Trek Captain Kirk’s Chicken Sandwich
THE TRIBBLE’S BANQUET (Captain Kirk’s Chicken Sandwich)
On that fateful day, off Space Station K-7, the chicken sandwich Captain Kirk ordered never got to him. Somewhere between the synthesizer and its final destination, it got into tribble …
However, if you want to recreate the Tribble’s Banquet, the following directions should give you no tribble at all.
What you need:
Sandwich Makings:
1 serving-sized piece of cooked chicken per sandwich (1 thigh or 1/2 chicken breast or 2 drumsticks)
1 ounce sliced Swiss cheese per sandwich
1 ounce sliced corned beef per sandwich
2 slices rye bread
2 to 3 large spoonfuls of cole slaw per sandwich
Seasoned salt to taste
Utensils:
3-quart mixing bowl Grater Pot with lid to fit the amount of chicken you are
cooking
What to do: Cook and chill the chicken ahead of time. For 4 to 6 pieces of
chicken, use a 2-quart pot, add 2 cups of water and 1/2 teaspoon seasoned
salt. Bring to a , boil and simmer for 40 minutes or more, until the chicken
is thoroughly tender. For more than 6 pieces, use a larger pot and
proportionately more water and seasoned salt.
Next make the coleslaw. Shred the cabbage and carrots, using the side of the
grater with round holes. Clean and trim the green onions and slice them
thinly. Mix the vegetables together in the bowl, then add the mayonnaise and
lemon juice, if desired. Mix together thoroughly. Season to taste with
seasoned salt.
To make the sandwiches: Put a slice pf Swiss cheese and a slice of corned
beef on a slice of bread.
Take the meat from the bones of 1 chicken piece and spread it over the
corned beef. Sprinkle with seasoned salt, cover with 2 to 3 large spoonfuls
of coleslaw and top with a second slice of bread. Cut the sandwich in half
and serve (with a pickle, if you wish).
