Ingredients
- 150 g (5 oz) chicken breast
- Toast bread
- Sliced cheese
- 100 g (3.5 oz) hard cheese, grated
- 1 tomato
- 1/2 red onion
- 2 pickled cucumbers
For the sauce:
- 2 tbsp BBQ sauce
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp grainy mustard
- Salt, paprika, chicken spices, to taste
Instructions
- Dice the chicken small and fry with the spices until done.
- For the sauce, finely chop the onion and cucumbers; add the BBQ sauce, mayonnaise, and mustard; mix well.
- On each bread slice layer: sliced cheese, tomato rings, chicken, sauce, then grated cheese on top.
- Bake at 200C (400F) for 15 minutes until the bread is crisp and the cheese stretches.
Tips
- Cut the chicken evenly so it cooks through quickly without drying out.
- Do not overload the bread, or the sandwiches will turn soggy instead of crisp.
