Chicken & Avocado Sandwich

Recipe by: Amanda May 6, 2019 Snacks

Description

The ideal way to use up leftover roast chicken, this sandwich includes avocado mayonnaise and tangy red onions. For a weekend treat, serve with a nice cold beer. Combat onions by soaking the slices in a bowl of cold water for five minutes before patting them dry and adding them to my sandwich. This takes away some of the onion tang which might not make you the most popular person later in the afternoon.

Ingredients

2 slices bread, white farmhouse - lightly toasted
1 handful roast chicken, leftover - or 1 small poached chicken breast, shredded
2 egg yolks, medium
1 avocado, large and very ripe, mashed until smooth
Sea salt
Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
Red onion, slices
1 handful of rocket, small

Directions

1. Make the mayonnaise with a pestle and mortar by rapidly mixing the mashed avocado gradually into the egg yolks. Season to taste with sea salt and lemon juice. Fold in the cold chicken.

2. Layer the rocket onto the toasted bread first, then the chicken avocado mayo, followed by a good grind of black pepper before layering on as many onion slices as you think you can manage, it depends on how much tang you like! To make this a bit more special as a weekend lunch at home, rather than an office sandwich bag this is actually rather good with a cold beer.

Enjoy!
