Chicken sandwich

While sitting down to write this post, I was thinking of the different recipes I would like to post today. A conversation two days back with a friend on packing lunches for children gave me the inspiration to write this post. It is very important that we send a healthy lunch to school for our children everyday. I personally discourage the potato chips, soft drink and sweets in children's tiffin. Sandwiches can be made easily with available ingredients . It is not time consuming and children get a balanced diet. Here is my version of chicken sandwich which I would like to share.

Ingredients:

  1. 2 slices of sandwich bread
  2. 1/2 chicken breast
  3. Butter or any spread
  4. 2 cocktail tomatoes
  5. 1 leaf of lettuce
  6. 1 tsp. of green pepper cut small
  7. 1 tsp. creamy salad dressing or mayonnaise
  8. 1/4 tsp. chicken masala
  9. 1/2 inch ginger and a few small slices of onion

Method:-

  • Cut the chicken breasts into small cubes.
  • Saute these pieces along with onion and ginger in a little oil until cooked. Add the chicken masala and remove from fire.
  • When this is cold use a hand blender which has chopper attachment and mince the chicken in it.
  • Add the salad dressing to this chicken mince and keep it aside.
  • Butter the slices of bread. Layer the lettuce and then put a spoonful of chicken mixture on it. Now layer it with cut cocktail tomatoes and green pepper.
  • Close the sandwich with the other buttered bread slice.
  • Sandwich is ready. These sandwiches should be cut into two diagonally or straight into two halves.
