Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
- 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (ground)
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 Green chilies (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander (chopped)
- 8 pieces Bread slices (white or whole wheat)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (for toasting)
Instructions
Boil the chicken in a pot with enough water to cover it. Add the ginger-garlic paste and salt to the water and cook the chicken until tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks and set it aside to cool.
In a medium skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken, black pepper, red chili flakes, and cumin powder. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes to incorporate the flavors and remove from heat.
Transfer the cooked chicken to a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, green chilies, and fresh coriander to the chicken mixture. Mix well to form the sandwich filling.
Spread the prepared chicken filling evenly over four slices of bread, then cover each with another slice to make sandwiches.
Heat a pan or griddle over medium heat and spread butter on one side of each sandwich. Toast the sandwiches, buttered side down, for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Spread butter on the top sides, flip, and toast the other side.
Cut the sandwiches diagonally into halves or quarters, as preferred, and serve warm.
