Spicy chicken sandwich - Love sandwiches? Then get excited about this spicy sandwich recipe with tender chicken fillet and tangy onion salad. It's so delicious, this sandwich is going to be your new lunch favorite.
Are you ready to meet my new favorite sandwich? My version of spicy chicken sandwich. Packed with massive flavor, there are quite a few things that you'll love about this sandwich.
One: the super healthy multigrain bread used in this recipe. Clearly, I think it just gives you all the additional nutrients that you need in a healthier way. You can lightly toast the bread if you like.
Two: everything that goes in between those two bread slices. Since sandwiches are a huge part of my everyday food, I always try to bring about new and interesting recipes. And the best way to do that is by creating new flavor combinations you'll die for. Exciting flavors is what makes this sandwich irresistible.
This spicy chicken sandwich is perfection from every angle. Cream cheese on the bread slices makes the base flavor of this sandwich. And a splash of sweet chili sauce on top adds a killer combo. Obviously, add more or less sauce depending on your taste.
Next up, chicken. Chicken marinated in a super flavorful spice mix is either pan fried or oven baked to perfection. The result? Juicy, tender, spicy chicken that's beyond amazing!
Apart from the bread, cheese chili spread and tender chicken, the fourth important element of the recipe is onion salad. This is one amazing salad that you can pair with any Indian inspired dish. So basically, this is just super versatile. With just a few simple ingredients on hand, you can make this in no time.
While carrots added to the salad makes it extra crunchy, tomatoes and herbs (coriander or cilantro leaves in this case) makes it colorful and nutritious. A touch of vinegar creates the perfect balance of flavors. Together with the other elements in the sandwich, it's going to create a burst of flavor in your mouth.
This spicy chicken sandwich is all you need to eat healthy this holiday season. Perfect lunch for a hectic day!
