On occasion when Pete is away, I have been known to get carried away and seem to get suckers on my butt as I never leave my computer for very long. Recently was such a day (and night) which meant cooking supper was not top priority and I only thought of it when my worm was awake and needed to be fed immediately! Seriously quick and easy would have to do – hence the Chicken and Tomato Sandwich was born, which made for a delicious light supper and was perfectly balanced with a Gin and Tonic 🙂 which I enjoyed at my desk.
Un-Recipe – Chicken and Tomato Sandwich
Ingredients
1 chicken breast slightly flattened with the heel of your hand
Smoky barbecue spice
Butter
2 slices of brown bread
Homemade Mayonnaise
Homemade Guinness Mustard
1 tomato sliced
Method
- Fry the chicken in a little butter sprinkled with the spice.
- Butter the bread and spread the mayonnaise on one slice and the mustard on the other.
- Top one of the slices with the sliced tomato.
- Once cooked cut the chicken breast into slices and place on top of the tomato.
- Top with the second slice of bread and cut in half.
Nice one Mandy, sometimes I would just love to do this…it’s always a flurry at teatime when the house is full! x
I also convince myself that it is quite healthy. 😉 Have a super week Yvette. 🙂 xo
Very nice un-recipe, thanks Mandy. In fact, it has made me quite hungry.
Best part Amanda, is you could be enjoying one of these in no time at all. Have a great week. 🙂
Yummmeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee 🙂
I just sent you an email I thought your hubby would appreciate it. Have a great week Cindy. 🙂
perfect with a G&T 🙂
Glad you agree. Have an awesome day. 🙂
Looks yummy. At least you cooked something instead of taking out or eating junk food. That’s important! 😉 I get lazy when my husband goes on business trip. Kids and myself… I won’t spend too much time on cooking – mostly pasta!
We don’t have any take-out places near where we live Nami so that helps, not that I am a big fan of take out food but it would be nice every now and then to get a pizza. 🙂
Oh I love un-recipe days. Paricularly when they involve leftovers or lurkers in the fridge!
Lurkers in the fridge – I love that! Have a super day Claire. 🙂
Darling, that is a proper recipe for a luscious meal! You’re selling yourself short calling it an un-recipe, it’s much more than that! Homemade mayo and homemade mustard, no less.. 🙂
Aah you are too kind dear Celia, thank you – oh and your homemade mustard I might add. Have a super day. 🙂
wow..sounds utterly delicious..
love your presentation..;)
Tasty Appetite
Thanks for stopping by Jay. Have a great day. 🙂
I do the same thing when my husband is away on business- YUMMMMMM is all i can say about this sandwich. It just looks simply YUMMMMY!
Thanks Belle, it was super yummy! Have a great week. 🙂
Now, this is my kind of fast food. A sandwich like this one can be so delicious and satisfying. Great idea, Mandy!
Thanks ChgoJohn. It was super tasty and best part is I could hold my sarmie in one hand and carry on working with the other. Have a super day. 🙂
That’s a quick and delicious lunch idea!
A definite favourite Angie. Have a lovely day. 🙂
Looks like a great meal for one! And sometimes developing suckers on your butt is not such a bad thing. 🙂
so pleased you understand Kristy. Have a super day. 🙂
That’s nice with shredded iceberg lettuces, too, and a good juicy squirt of sweet chili sauce.
Hi Misk, thanks for stopping by. The lettuce is a fantastic idea although I think the sweet chilli sauce may be a little much with the mustard and mayo although a nice substitute. Have a super day. 🙂
Oh, I like this!! Quick and easy!
This will definitely be repeated when my hubby is away again. Have a super evening Pink. 🙂
You had me at Guinness mustard!
Oh this mustard is so addictive! Have a great day. 🙂
Before I scrolled down, I thought “I hope Mandy puts mayo on it and has a glass of wine too”…well, glad to see you did put mayo and had a G&T. Fast food at its best!
Now that you mention it, a glass of wine may have been even nicer – will do a comparison test ASAP! Have a super day Tanya. 🙂
Love this un-recipe…the sandwich sounds delicious! I’m intrigued by the Guinness mustard as well. 😉
I think I will be adding the Guinness mustard to my Christmas gift basket – it’s delicious! Loved your onion soup recipe today – delicious! Have a super day Caroline. 🙂
I love the homemade elements in this recipe Mandy – I can’t wait to try your Guinness mustard! (not sure how that one escaped me the first time! :))
Thanks Kelly! The Guinness mustard is an absolute win. Have a super day. 🙂
OOOH, baaaaaby,
You know how to live :))) xxx
It’s all about balance I’d say. Have a great day Kim. 🙂 xo
That looks like an incredible sandwich. And a perfectly balanced gin and tonic would be just great.
Must say, the combo was very satisfying. Have a super day. 🙂
I can’t eat tomato because of my allergies, but I can definitely see myself pairing this chicken sandwich some with red peppers. This looks amazing
What a pity about your tomato allergy Kay – red pepper sounds like a perfect alternative and would add a nice crunch too. Have a super day. 🙂
Simply great! The Guinness mustard sounds perfect as well!
Simplicity always works so well for me. Have a super day. 🙂
Suckers on my butt – hilarious! The sandwich looks great too!
Hi Candy, welcome and thanks for stopping by. Suckers on my butt is a term I learnt from my father many years ago and it kinda just “stuck”. Have a super day. 🙂
A chicken sandwich with homemade mustard and mayo is not only a recipe but a delicious one.
Thanks Karen. Homemade is always so much more special and delicious. Have a great day. 🙂
I want this on my lunch box
Great idea Raymund – this would make an awesome lunch. Have a super day. 🙂
Sounds simple and delicious–perfect for dinner for one!
Hi Inger, welcome and thanks for stopping by. Simple meals like this are usually more satisfying and delicious than expected. Have a great day. 🙂
When I know my son is not coming home for dinner, I eat just as you! Simple, quick, no recipe needed!!
It is nice to have a night off “cooking” every now and again. 🙂
