… is “a sandwich for the soul”
It's my take on a “takeaway” chicken idea for the weekend. If there are four in your household then you might want to consider slow cooking a whole chicken just for this purpose, lets be honest, it doesn't take a great deal of effort, nor break the bank either. I'd recommend too that you use the star anise option in the cavity, the flavour is divine. You'll also produce lots of moist chicken which shreds very easily, it almost melts before your eyes.
We've already had chicken soup for the soul – now here's a chicken sandwich for the soul – I have it on good authority that this is the best ever and well worth slow cooking a whole chicken solely for that purpose!
You'll need delicious bread and when I say delicious bread I mean a loaf (or may be two) that can be sliced into doorsteps. You could serve with a side of wedges or fries too!
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 – here's an Asian
recipe that will compliment your anise infused
shredded chicken
Asian Coleslaw
110g white cabbage, finely sliced – approximately
one third of a medium size cabbage
1 carrot – peeled and sliced with a
julienne peeler
1 spring onion – 15g finely sliced
if you want to create a basic slaw stash then
double the amounts given above
3-4 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp caster sugar
Half tbsp rice wine
2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp peanut butter
Half tsp chilli powder
4 tbsp fresh coriander
Combine all the above ingredients except the fresh coriander.
Marinade for at least an hour – 2-3 is better still!
Just before serving strain off the excess liquid, stir in the coriander and serve!
If you don't want to be bothered ...
