Gary’s Spicy Open Chicken Sandwich

Chefs tip Remember the chicken thigh tastes great – does not tend to dry out like the breast and of course represents good value for money.

Ingredients

• 2 slices good whole wheat or sour dough bread
• 200g boneless Chicken thigh
• 1/2 tsp Tumeric
• 1 tsp Coriander, ground
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1cm piece of Ginger
• 1 tblsp crunchy peanut butter
• 60ml Coconut cream
• 1 Fresh chilli
• Fresh coriander – chop half
• 3 tblsp thick fresh egg mayonnaise
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 2 tbsp Spring onions, chopped

Method

1. Slice the chicken into strips and marinate in the dry spices and a little oil for 3 hrs or so.
2. Blitz or pound the ginger and garlic with a little oil.
3. Fry the chicken quickly in a hot non stick pan until slightly brown.
4. Reduce the heat and add the ginger & garlic paste, crunchy peanut butter and the coconut cream. Cook for approx 2 minutes.

6. Add the fresh chilli, chopped coriander and the spring onions.
7. Cut the bread into thick slices and toast or grill. Mix a good dollop of Dijon mustard into the mayonnaise and spread thickly onto the toast.
