Ingredients
- Chicken Breast: 1 small chicken breast
- Red Chilli: 1/2 red chilli, thinly sliced into rounds
- Olive Oil: 1 tsp olive oil
- Spring Onion: 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
- Carrot: 1/2 small carrot, peeled and grated
- Lime: juice 1/2 lime
- Cucumber: 2 1/2 cm/1in piece cucumber, deseeded and sliced
- Baguette: 1 sandwich baguette
- Little Gem Lettuce: 3-4 Little Gem lettuce leaves, washed
- Sweet Chilli Sauce: 1-2 tbsp sweet chilli sauce
- Golden Caster Sugar: 1/2 tsp golden caster sugar
- Rice Vinegar: 1 tsp rice vinegar
Directions
- Put the chicken breast between 2 pieces of cling film and bash with a rolling pin to about 1cm thick. Heat a griddle pan until hot. Rub the chicken with the oil, cook for 2-3 mins per side, or until cooked through. Set aside to cool.
- Mix together the rice vinegar, sugar and lime juice, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Add the carrot, spring onions, cucumber and chilli.
- Split a sandwich baguette along the top. Stuff with the Little Gem leaves and shred the chicken on top. Pile on the carrot mixture and wrap or place in a plastic box. Put the sweet chilli sauce in a small portable pot and when it's time for lunch, pour over the sauce just before tucking in.
