Breakfast today was 'Grilled Chicken' Sandwich NOT Grilled 'Chicken Sandwich' :D.


What you would need:
Grilled Chicken ( you can buy this off the counter in many restaurants, if you wish to make your own you will need to marinate chicken in curd, chilli powder, salt and grill this on slow heat with constant application of butter) - cut into bite size
Fresh baked bread
Onions - Finely chopped **
Tomatoes - Finely chopped
Green Chillies - Finely chopped
Fresh coriander leaves - finely chopped
Butter
Cheese slices ( You can use grated cheese of your choice as well)
Pepper

Prep:
Apply butter on one side of the bread, put the cheese slice over this.
Then put layers of chicken, onion , tomoatoes, green chillies and corainder leaves. Sprinkle some pepper
Butter another slice of bread and cover the sandwich.

You can grill, toast or pan toast this sandwich. I made the pan toasted version today and it was delicious :) . Enjoy with a bit of ketchup !!

** Do not restrict your sandwich to these vegetables, use what you have at home, thin slices of mushroom, carrots capsicum etc would make this sandwich even better.
