Ingredients

Sandwich Ingredients

  • 4 slices bread
  • Butter, to taste
  • 120g (4¼ oz) leftover cooked chicken
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • ⅓ teaspoon dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons chopped chives
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Rocket / arugula or lettuce, optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Shred or chop the leftover cooked chicken into small pieces to ensure easy mixing and even distribution in the sandwich.
  2. Mix the filling: Place the shredded chicken in a bowl, then add the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, and chopped chives. Mix thoroughly to combine all flavors. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
  3. Butter the bread: Lightly butter each slice of bread for added flavor and moisture. This step is optional based on your preference.
  4. Assemble the sandwich: Take one slice of buttered bread, place a few leaves of rocket, arugula, or lettuce if using, then spoon half of the chicken mixture on top. Cover with another slice of bread.
  5. Repeat assembly: Repeat the layering process with the remaining bread, greens, and chicken mixture to make a second sandwich.
  6. Serve immediately: These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh and straight away to maintain the crispness of the bread and freshness of the filling.

Notes

  • Use leftover cooked chicken to save time and reduce waste.
  • The sandwich filling can be adjusted to taste by adding more or less mayonnaise or dijon mustard.
  • For a lower fat option, reduce the amount of mayonnaise or substitute with a lighter version.
  • Adding fresh greens like rocket or lettuce gives the sandwich a refreshing crunch and extra nutrients.
  • Butter on the bread is optional; you can skip it if you prefer a lighter sandwich.
