Made with Hovis® 2 Protein Sunflower & Honey Sub Rolls

Preparation time: 15 mins

Cook time: 0 mins

Serves 1

Ingredients

1 Hovis® 1 Protein Sunflower & Honey Sub Rolls
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp curry powder, to taste
½ tsp ground turmeric
½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp mango chutney
15g coriander (roughly chopped)
1 Chicken breast or thigh (cooked and diced)
A handful of slice iceberg lettuce
1 Large tomato (sliced)
⅓ of an apple (diced)

Tip

Use a combination of mayonnaise and plain yogurt for the sauce. This creates a creamy texture while allowing the other flavours (spices, fruit, etc.) to shine through more prominently.

Method

Mix together the mayonnaise, turmeric, cinnamon, curry powder and chutney in a medium bowl. Stir in the fresh coriander, and season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.

The bowl contains several ingredients for a sauce, including white mayonnaise, a small mound of dark red chutney, a pile of green chopped coriander or parsley, and a scoop of yellow curry powder. In the background, a small blue bowl filled with more green herbs sits on a marble countertop.

For the hint of sweetness, you can add some diced apple to the mix. Alternatively you can swap this for a handful of raisins if you prefer!

Add the diced cooked chicken to the sauce and stir until they're coated. If the mixture seems a bit thick, stir in 2 tablespoons of water to loosen it up.

Cut your Hovis® Protein Sunflower & Honey Sub Roll in half and butter the base, then layer your lettuce leaves and tomatoes. Spread your Coronation Chicken on top and add a dash of salt and pepper if you wish.
