Instructions

  1. Cut the bread rolls in half lengthwise, without separating them completely.
  2. Season the chicken strips with salt, pepper and paprika.
  3. Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the chicken for 6 to 8 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
  4. Spread a little mayonnaise in each roll, then place the still-warm chicken on top.
  5. Add the cheese and melt it for a few minutes in the oven at 200 °C or under the grill.
  6. Top with tomato, red onion and lettuce.
  7. Close the sandwiches and press down lightly before cutting them in half.

Variations and tips

Cold version. Replace the warm chicken with cooked, cooled chicken and serve the sandwich without heating it.

Ham patay. Replace the chicken with slices of cooked ham for a simpler version.
