A chicken sandwich was a sandwich made using chicken meat. In one variation, the meat was breaded and deep-fried golden brown and sandwiched between two buns. It could be topped with pickles, tomatoes or lettuce and two different condiments and mainly served with French fries and soda pop (similar to a Hamburger).
In 2152, in order to avoid giving sensitive information about Enterprise NX-01 to Traeg, Jonathan Archer pointed out that the ship's protein resequencers could make chicken sandwiches, which earned him a slap across the face from the Coridanite. T'Pol continued the ruse, saying that Archer was the ship's steward and knew nothing of its specs. (ENT: "Shadows of P'Jem")
In 2268, Captain James T. Kirk ordered a chicken salad sandwich and coffee from a food synthesizer. He was quite dismayed, however, when he found that tribbles had infested the system – resulting in him getting a cup of tribble and a plate of tribbles. (TOS: "The Trouble with Tribbles"; DS9: "Trials and Tribble-ations")
Chicken sandwiches were also mentioned, as an example of typical Human food, in the Pocket TNG novel Survivors.
