How to make a grilled chicken sandwich

  1. Marinate and grill the chicken: Combine oil, lemon juice and spices together. To ensure the chicken cooks quickly and evenly, halve the breasts horizontally (to create two thin fillets) or use a meat mallet to flatten the chicken out slightly. Place in a Ziploc bag and pour over the marinade. You can allow the chicken to marinate for up to 24 hours in the fridge but I usually just let it marinate while I make the slaw and heat up the grill. Heat an outdoor grill or grill pan over high heat then cook the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the heat and allow to rest for a few minutes.
  2. Make the slaw: Thinly slice cabbage, fennel and red onion and place in a bowl. Add coriander/cilanto. Whisk together mayonnaise, yogurt/sour cream and lemon juice and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  3. Assemble the sandwich: Spread some mayo on slices of bread then top with the grilled chicken. Add a generous spoonful of slaw and sandwich with another slice of bread. Serve immediately.

Can I make this ahead?

The chicken can be grilled up to 2 days in advance and kept in the fridge. The slaw will also last in the fridge for a day, although it is best eaten fresh as the vegetables will lose their crunch. To prep ahead, slice all the vegetables and make the dressing but only dress the slaw just before assembling the sandwiches.

    The recipe instructions call for garlic powder and lemon juice for the marinade but are not included in the ingredient list?
