Why chicken sandwich with curry is a good choice

This Chicken Sandwich with Curry offers a perfect balance of sweet and savoury flavours in every bite. The creamy texture of the dressing pairs beautifully with the crunch of fresh salad leaves. It is incredibly quick to prepare when you need a satisfying meal in a hurry. You only need a few basic ingredients to make a professional tasting lunch.

How to make chicken sandwich with curry

Step 1

Mix the dressing: Place the mayonnaise, curry powder and mango chutney into a small bowl. Stir the ingredients together until the yellow spice is fully combined and the sauce is smooth. Taste the mixture to ensure the spice level is right for you. Add a pinch of salt if you prefer a more seasoned finish.

Step 2

Prepare the chicken: Cut the cooked chicken breast into small bite-sized pieces or thin slices. Place the meat into the bowl with the curry dressing. Stir well to ensure every piece of chicken is evenly coated in the sauce. This helps keep the meat moist and ensures flavour in every mouthful.

Step 3

Prep the vegetables: Wash the lettuce leaves and pat them dry with a clean cloth. Peel the red onion and slice it into very thin rings. Prepare two slices of your favourite bread such as a thick sourdough or a soft white bloomer. You can toast the bread slightly if you prefer a warmer base for your meal.

Step 4

Assemble the sandwich: Place the lettuce leaves on one slice of bread and top them with the curry chicken mixture. Add the red onion rings on top for a little extra crunch and bite. Cover with the second slice of bread and press down gently. Cut the sandwich in half diagonally and serve it immediately while fresh.

My best tips for chicken sandwich with curry

Using high quality mayonnaise will make your Chicken Sandwich with Curry taste much richer and creamier. If you prefer a lighter version, you can replace half of the mayonnaise with Greek yoghurt. Toasting the bread just before assembly prevents it from becoming soft too quickly. Make sure to let the toast cool slightly so it does not wilt the fresh lettuce leaves.

Adding a few raisins or sultanas to the mix can provide a traditional fruity sweetness. If you want more heat, simply increase the amount of curry powder used in the sauce. This sandwich is best enjoyed on the day it is made to keep the bread fresh.

You might also enjoy pan-fried beef patties, tomato salad with mozzarella or strawberry smoothie.

You can prepare the chicken and sauce mixture up to a day before you need it. Keep the mixture in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness. Wait until you are ready to eat before assembling the Chicken Sandwich with Curry to prevent the bread from getting soggy.

Which type of bread is best for a Chicken Sandwich with Curry?

A thick white bloomer or a crusty sourdough works very well with the creamy filling. These types of bread are sturdy enough to hold the weight of the chicken and dressing. You can also use a wholemeal wrap or a soft baguette for a different style of Chicken Sandwich with Curry.

How can I make the curry flavour stronger?

You can easily increase the spice by adding an extra half teaspoon of curry powder to the mayonnaise. Alternatively, use a hot curry powder instead of a mild version for a bigger kick. Always stir the spice well into the dressing before adding the chicken to avoid clumps of powder.
