This kind of sandwich is very quick and easy to prepare, and is very satisfying. There are many variations - here's just one:
Serves 2
- 1 ciabatta (or any nice crusty bread)
- 2 chicken breast
- juice of half a lime
- 1 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 finely chopped spring onion
- watercress (or some other salad leaf)
- 1 tbsp mild olive oil
- salt and pepper
If the ciabatta needs to go in the oven, pop it in.
Cut the chicken breasts into small pieces. Cook them in a frying pan with the olive oil until cooked through - don't stir them about too much, if you keep them still, they'll develop delicious crispy bits on the outside.
Add the spring onion and lime juice and cook and stir gently for another minute or so.
Transfer the chicken to a small bowl, mix thoroughly with the mayonnaise.
Cut the ciabatta in half (horizontally). Cover one half with the chicken, add a layer of watercress (rocket would go nicely here too), and place the other half on top. Eat.
