Asian Lemongrass Chicken Sandwich
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 4 slices Gardenia Low GI Soft Grain Loaf
- 4 pieces Chicken thigh or leg, deboned, fat and skin removed
- 8 slices Tomato
- 2 pieces Lettuce, cut into thin strips
- 8 slices Cucumber
- 1 piece Purple cabbage, cut into thin strips
- 2 tsp Low-fat mayonnaise
- 2 tsp Chilli sauce
- 2 tsp Oil
Marinade Paste
- 3 stalks Lemongrass
- 6 Shallots, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, chopped
- ½ tsp Turmeric powder
- ½ tsp Chilli powder
- 1 tbsp Coriander, chopped
- 2 tsp Sugar
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Oil
- 2 tbsp Water


Method
- Cut off the ends of the lemongrass stalks, and peel off the outer layer. Chop lemongrass into small pieces.
- In a food processor, add chopped lemongrass and the rest of the ingredients for the Marinade Paste and blend until a smooth paste.
- Transfer the Marinade Paste to a medium bowl. Add the chicken and coat evenly with the marinade. Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight in the chiller.
- In a small bowl, add the low-fat mayonnaise and chilli sauce. Mix to combine well, then set aside.
- In a non-stick frying pan, heat 1 tsp of oil over medium heat. Add 2 pieces of marinated chicken and pan-fry until chicken is cooked through and light golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Add remaining 1 tsp oil to the frying pan and pan-fry the other 2 pieces of chicken. When chicken is cooked through and light golden brown, remove from the frying pan and set aside.
- On 1 slice of bread, place 2 slices of cucumber. Add 1 piece of pan-fried chicken and drizzle with chilli mayonnaise. Then, add 2 slices of tomato, followed by some shredded lettuce and purple cabbage.
- Assemble 3 more sandwiches using the remaining pieces of bread, chicken and vegetables.
- Serve immediately.
NOTE:
- Lemongrass chicken can be baked in pre-heated oven at 180°C for approximately 20 to 25 minutes, or until cooked.
- Low-fat or fat-free mayonnaise could be used as healthier options.
