While chicken is baking, cut the tops of the tomatoes off and with a melon baller scoop out the seeds and pulp. For the cucumber, cut into pieces about 1 1/2-inches in height; hollow out to create a center chamber. To prepare mayonnaise, in a blender blend egg yolks until light and creamy yellow. Slowly blend oil in a steady stream. Add sugar, salt, cayenne, lemon juice, and vinegar. Pulse, then add cilantro. Blend until light green in color. Shred chicken, then chop into small pieces. Put in large bowl. Add onion, chives, cashews & celery; begin to add mayonnaise until desired consistency is reached. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Place a healthy scoop of salad on bread. Fill tomatoes and cucumbers. Sprinkle with black sesame seeds. Serve.
