First and foremost – strain the stock, bag it and freeze, ready to use on another day. The strength of the stock has intensified and just gets better.
Back to the chicken and my memory is serving me well. In 2018 I shipped the original slow cooked version (stripped) up North when visiting the kids, that chicken was used to make what became known as “a sandwich for the soul”.
You now have a fast version of that chicken using the roasting bag method and who doesn't love a sandwich. The only task you have is to shred the chicken, hardly exhausting!
Here's a list of other ingredients you'll need.
At the top is good fresh bread, the sort that can be sliced into doorsteps – in other words thick slices of bread!
Then there's the “who likes what” list :
Who likes what?
It wouldn't be a sandwich without the extras, here are my
suggestions and it is not an exhaustive list!
Avocado, sliced or mashed to suit, with lemon
juice
Crispy bacon – and bits are better!
Good quality mayo
Beef tomatoes, sliced thinly
Beetroot relish or slices if you prefer
Any salad item you love – spring onions, shredded
iceberg lettuce
capers, cornichons
A slaw of your choice – up next is an Asian
recipe that will compliment your anise infused
shredded chicken
There's an old saying, Jewish in origin I'm sure, that chicken soup is good for the soul. We now have a sandwich for the soul – back then I'd never seen food disappear so quickly and, more to the point, my other benchmark, silently!
Tender, moist chicken - full of flavour – what's not to love.
… the slaw
