Instructions
Cook The Chicken (SKIP THIS STEP IF USING ROTISSERIE CHICKEN)
Boil The Chicken - Set a pot of water (about 2 cups) to boil on stove. Add ½ salt, lemon juice and peppercorns. When the water is boiling, slowly lower the chicken breast or boneless chicken thighs (8-10oz) in there.
Reduce to a low medium simmer, cover the pot and let boil for 8-10 minutes. Switch off the stove. Adjust time depending on the thickness, quality and quanitity of chicken.
Using tongs, pick the chicken out, you can use the remaining stock for soup. Let cool down a bit, dry the chicken in between pieces of paper towel. Place on a cutting board and chop the chicken into small pieces.
Alternatively, Bake The Chicken - Season the chicken with salt, pepper and a drizzle of olive oil. Bake in a preheated 375F oven. Bake chicken breasts for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). If using chicken thighs, they may require slightly longer, about 20-22 minutes.
Make The Sandwich filling
In a large bowl, add the chopped chicken along with cheese, chopped onion & scallions, mayonnaise, green chutney, green chilies, salt & pepper and garlic powder.
Using a spoon, mix very well. Taste and adjust the seasonings. The mixture should not be too dry else the sandwich will taste dry. It should be moist and spreadable.
On one slice of bread, place approximately ? cup of the chicken filling. Spread using a butter knife to cover all areas of the bread slice.
Place the other bread slice on top of the chicken filling, creating a sandwich.Cut the sandwich diagonally or into halves or quarters, depending on your preference.Serve.
