Nexi's Quick (10 minutes) Deli Chicken Sandwich:

1 chicken thigh
Salad quality tomato
Mixed salad leaves, from a pack or choose your favourite.
Turkish bread roll.
Chilli sauce
Dijon mustard
Butter

1. Halve the Turkish bread roll and toast it until golden brown. I prefer the oven toasting method, but the brushing with olive oil and frying is another good option. Don't turn it into a cracker, just heat it and give it a slight crunch and color.

2. While that is going on, cut the thigh into 4 strips and fry in olive oil for approx 3-4 minutes or until tender and just cooked.

3. Slice the tomato into 3 generous slices, and eat the top and bottom. A note on tomato. Buy yourself a nice fresh vine-ripened tomato for this. It should be acidic, tart, and sweet at the same time, and have that sharp tomato plant aroma. The flesh should be firm, brightly coloured, and easy to slice.

3. Leave the bottom half of the roll dry and apply liberal amounts of butter, mustard, and chilli sauce to the top side.

4. On a cutting board, place the bottom half of the roll, the chicken (season with salt and pepper), tomato slices and leafy greens, then top it with the roll top. To keep it from falling apart when serving it, stab a sharp knife down through the centre of the roll to hold it all in place.

5. Enjoy.

You may be tempted to add cheese, mayo, a fried egg, but I think those ingredients take away from the freshness and simplicity of this sandwich. Some red onion slices or alfalfa sprouts are a nice addition. I use chicken thighs instead of breast meat because it has a richer flavour and 1 per sandwich is the perfect portion size.

You can bet I'm gonna try out the addition! Looks too promising not to try out.

Is it missing bacon vodka?
