Curried Chicken Sandwich

Burgers aren't the only grilled things we want to eat with our hands. Thanks to a flavorful brine and a
supershort cook time, sandwich-friendly boneless breasts take on a whole new life between two slices
of bread.

Preparation

Combine chicken and Curry Brine in a large resealable plastic bag, seal, and turn to coat. Chill at least 4
hours.
Prepare grill for medium-high heat. Combine celery, fennel, yogurt, lemon juice, celery seeds, and 1
tablespoon mayonnaise in a medium bowl; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Set slaw
aside.

Grill chicken until cooked through, 5–7 minutes per side. Brush bread on both sides with oil and grill
until toasted, about 2 minutes per side; spread with mayonnaise. Build sandwiches with bread, chicken,
slaw, onion, and dill.

DO AHEAD: Chicken can be brined 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.
