Sometimes dinner at home — and I’m sure this has happened to all of you — boils down to “I’ll just settle for a yogurt”… It always happens to me the same way: I think “okay, a yogurt… and what else.” You peek into the fridge and the freezer and the gates of heaven swing open. You’ve got a quick rescue! That’s how this recipe was born — only within reach of the great chefs :p

What do we need?

  •   1 chicken breast fillet

  •   4 teaspoons of mayonnaise

  •   2 slices of country-style bread (pan payés)

  •   2 lettuce leaves

How do we make it?

  • Put a bit of oil in a frying pan.

  • While the oil heats up, season the chicken and wash and chop the lettuce.

  • Cook the chicken to your liking. I prefer not to cook it too much — like with almost any meat — so it stays tender and juicy.

  • Grab the two slices of country bread and pop them in the toaster.

  • Take out the chicken and the bread and assemble the sandwich.

Tips:

  • We buy the country bread already sliced at any supermarket. If we’re not going to eat it within a short time, we freeze it.
  • Another option for the sauce is to make a “mustardnaise” — mayonnaise and mustard in a 4-to-1 ratio.
  • You can pair the dish with some bagged potato chips.

[English version] CHICKEN SANDWICH **Ingredients:- Chicken breast steak

  • 4 tsp mayonnaise

  • 2 lettuce leaves

  • 2 slices of bread

  • Put some olive oil into the pan.

  • Wash the lettuce and salt and pepper the chicken.

  • Grill the chicken.

  • Creat your sandwich with mayo sauce, chicken and lettuce.

Tips:- We buy the sliced bread and we place it in the freezer. When we need it, we just take out a couple of slices and place them directly into the toaster.

  • Instead of mayonnaise you can use ‘mustardnaise’. Just mix mayonnaise and mustard (proportion 4:1).
  • You can serve it with some crisps.

Lifesaver recipe :) I add a bit of chili paste to the mayo and it turns out tastier, hehe. By the way, a little tip for the photographer: watch the white balance — you can fix it very easily from LR if it came out a bit weird in the photo ;)

Now that we have chili paste, I’ll give it a try one day.

Guys, don’t try to dress it up with fancy names for the bread… you know that this bread, the best one for the sandwich, is called and will always be called LONG-LIFE BREAD :P:P

Exactly! Well done, setting the terminology straight and calling things by their name. It’s true that we call it long-life bread because we freeze the bread already sliced, then we take out just what we need and straight into the toaster. :-)
