Ingredients

• 300 grams Chicken breast (boneless, skinless)
• 1 tablespoon Ginger-garlic paste
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (ground)
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 2 Green chilies (finely chopped)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander (chopped)
• 8 pieces Bread slices (white or whole wheat)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (for toasting)

Directions

Step 1

Boil the chicken in a pot with enough water to cover it. Add the ginger-garlic paste and salt to the water and cook the chicken until tender, about 10-12 minutes.

Step 2

Once cooked, shred the chicken using two forks and set it aside to cool.

Step 3

In a medium skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the shredded chicken, black pepper, red chili flakes, and cumin powder. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes to incorporate the flavors and remove from heat.

Step 4

Transfer the cooked chicken to a mixing bowl. Add mayonnaise, green chilies, and fresh coriander to the chicken mixture. Mix well to form the sandwich filling.

Step 5

Spread the prepared chicken filling evenly over four slices of bread, then cover each with another slice to make sandwiches.

Step 6

Heat a pan or griddle over medium heat and spread butter on one side of each sandwich. Toast the sandwiches, buttered side down, for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Spread butter on the top sides, flip, and toast the other side.

Step 7

Cut the sandwiches diagonally into halves or quarters, as preferred, and serve warm.
