Equipment

Ingredients

1 Large ciabatta loaf or 4 ciabatta rolls
4 Chicken breasts
300 g Smoky bacon (10 rashers of bacon)
1 Red onion finely diced
8 tablespoon Mayonnaise
6 tablespoon Greek yogurt
4 tablespoon Mango chutney
1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
½ teaspoon Cayenne pepper or black pepper
¼ teaspoon Chilli flakes
1 Lemon juice (and zest if you wish)
¼ teaspoon Sea salt
¼ teaspoon Garlic powder

Instructions

If you haven't roasted your chicken yet, place on lined baking tray lined for 25 minutes, or until cooked through at 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6, 400°F, then shred with 2 forks and set aside
For the bacon, place on a foil-lined tray and grill under medium-high heat until crispy for 10 minutes, turning halfway. Place on a paper towel to soak up excess fat, then chop up all but 4 bacon rashers.
4 Chicken breasts, 300 g Smoky bacon
In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, mango chutney, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, garlic powder and chilli flakes.
8 tablespoon Mayonnaise, 6 tablespoon Greek yogurt, 4 tablespoon Mango chutney, 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon Cayenne pepper, ¼ teaspoon Chilli flakes, 1 Lemon, ¼ teaspoon Sea salt, ¼ teaspoon Garlic powder
Add the finely diced red onion, shredded chicken, and chopped bacon. Stir well to coat evenly.
1 Red onion
Slice the ciabatta loaf in half horizontally and lightly toast both sides under a grill.
Now layer the sandwich with shredded lettuce, followed by the creamy chicken filling evenly over the bottom half of the bread.
Then layer with the reserved crispy bacon and sliced tomato, add the top, then slice and serve.

Notes

Note: if you prefer a much creamier filling, you can use half the amount of chicken, or loosen the mix with a little warm water.
