Ingredients
Sandwich Filler Ingredients
- 2 cooked chicken breasts (or 200g/7oz cooked cold chicken), diced
- 2 celery sticks, cut in half lengthways and thinly sliced
- 198 g canned sweetcorn, drained (or 165g/6oz cooked cold frozen corn)
- 180 g mayonnaise
- Big pinch each of garlic powder and onion powder (or 1/2 tsp Season-All, optional)
- Salt & black pepper to taste
- Buttered baguettes or bread of choice
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, add the diced cooked chicken, thinly sliced celery sticks, drained sweetcorn, and mayonnaise. Sprinkle in a big pinch of garlic powder and onion powder or Season-All if using. Season with salt and black pepper according to taste.
- Toss Until Combined: Mix all the ingredients gently but thoroughly until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated with the mayonnaise and seasonings. This ensures every bite is flavorful.
- Serve or Chill: You can serve the filling immediately by spooning it onto buttered baguettes or bread of your choice for a tasty sandwich. Alternatively, cover and chill the mixture in an airtight container to let the flavors meld together. The filler can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days, perfect for preparing ahead.
Notes
- You can substitute cooked chicken breasts with shredded rotisserie chicken or leftover roast chicken.
- If preferred, replace mayonnaise with a lighter yogurt-based dressing for a lower-fat option.
- Adding a squeeze of lemon juice can brighten the flavors if desired.
- Season-All is a mixed seasoning salt that can replace garlic and onion powders for convenience.
- The mixture can also be used as a filling for wraps or served atop a salad for variety.
