Lemon, tarragon and poached chicken sandwich
Ingredients
- 150g chicken breast or thigh filet, fat trimmed
- 50g light sour cream or crème fraiche
- 2 tablespoons fresh tarragon, finely chopped (use basil if tarragon not available)
- 1 lemon, finely zested
- 20g toasted chopped walnuts
- 4 slices low GI seed or multigrain bread
- Salad to serve (greens, sliced tomato, cucumber)
Method
- Place chicken in a small pan and cover with cold water. Bring to the boil over medium heat
- Turn heat down to low and gently simmer for another 5-7 minutes
- When chicken is poached through (slice in a thick area and check flesh is no longer raw if unsure) remove from water and allow to cool for 5 minutes
- Then shred chicken by tearing thin strips off and place in a bowl
- In the bowl, add sour cream, tarragon, lemon zest and walnuts and mix well (don’t skimp on the lemon zest!)
- Spoon onto bread, add salad and serve
