When a chicken salad sandwich is consumed, it first undergoes mechanical digestion in the mouth as it's chewed and mixed with saliva. The saliva contains enzymes that begin breaking down carbohydrates. Once swallowed, the sandwich travels down the esophagus to the stomach, where gastric acids and enzymes further break down the proteins and fats. Finally, nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine, while the remaining waste is prepared for excretion in the large intestine.
