Yummy Coleslaw Chicken Sandwich — served with rustic fried and apple wedges

Ingredients:

chicken breasts		300 gms
salt, plus more to season		½ tsp
pepper, plus more to season		½ tsp
capsicum (green bell pepper), de-seeded		1 medium sized
shallots, minced - about ½ Tbsp		2
mayonnaise (I like Helmans or Best Foods Mayo)		6-8 Tbsp
grated cabbage (you can combine yellow and purple cabbage together, if desired)		2 - 3 cups
carrot, grated		1 medium sized
of bread (we use wholemeal)		16 slices
butter, for grilling the bread		As required,

Method:

Cook the Chicken in water with salt and pepper till tender. (Cook through to the center, check if done). Allow to cool and then drain.
Shred the chicken using a processor, very briefly till just shredded.
To this, add the minced shallot and grated capsicum. Add mayonnaise, salt, and pepper to taste and mix well. Chill in refrigerator.
Into another bowl, grate the cabbage to make 2 cups.
Grate the carrot into this also. Add mayonnaise, salt, and pepper again. Mix well.
Add this to the chilled chicken mixture and incorporate well.
Chill again for at least 1 hour.
Heat a grill pan. Lightly butter the surface and grill each slice of bread on one side only. For nice criss cross grill marks, grill briefly then rotate the bread clockwise and continue grilling till golden marks are achieved. Grill only one side of each slice.
Place a good amount of filling on the ‘un toasted’ side. Place another toasted bread on top. Slice and serve!
You may want to have pieces of iceberg lettuce for an added crunch. I like it without.

Notes:

The sandwiches may be made with untoasted white bread too.
Do not shred the vegetables too finely. A coleslaw texture is what is required.
Keep the filing cold. It is best served cold.
For a low-fat version, combine equal parts mayonnaise and yogurt. Mix well and use in place of the mayo.

Key Ingredients: Chicken, Cabbage, Carrot, Capsicum, Mayonnaise.
