A lunchtime Favourite (lemon, honey, ginger, soy chicken sandwich recipe)

29/4/2012

 This is lemon, honey, ginger, soy chicken....~!
I came up with this mix of flavors for my chicken a couple of months ago at about 1am having a food chat with an Aussie Dancer on the train heading home from a night out at a jazz bar in Ginza.  It's incredible how often food comes up in conversation with dancers.  I am still convinced that they can eat more than anyone.
I've been eating my chicken like this in sandwiches with different kinds of grainy bread ever since.
Even after eating it during rehearsals everyday I'm still not sick of it. It's that good!!!


GOURMET CHICKEN SANDWICH


SCRIPT:
1/4 avocado
QP Japanese Mayo
1/4 Red pepper
3 fresh spinach leaves
2 Pieces dark walnut bread
red leicester cheese optional
CHICKEN SCRIPT:
1/2 lemon Dash of Soy Sauce
1 chicken breast
1t honey (I use dark nz manuka)
1T fresh grated ginger
METHOD:
Cut the chicken into strips add lemon juice, grated fresh ginger and generous t of honey with a dash of soy sauce.
Mix so that chicken is coated then cook on low-med until all liquid has dried up and the chicken is cooked and black with seasoning (not burnt)
On one piece of the walnut bread spread some mayo, on the other cover with avocado.
Lay fresh spinach leaves, red pepper and 5 or 6 strips of freshly cooked chicken onto avocado. You can also add some Red Leicester Cheese if you like.

* I often cook up a couple of chicken breasts at a time and refrigerate the rest for using over the week.

With my sandwiches in tow I head to the theatre knowing very well that I have far too much food and won't be able to eat much at my cast mates birthday dinner.
