Ingredients

  • 1 (about 200 g) chicken breast fillet, sliced horizontally
  • 3 spring onions
  • 5 black peppercorns
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 2 tbsp good-quality egg mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp chopped tarragon leaves
  • ½ granny smith apple, cored, chopped
  • ¼ tsp caraway seeds
  • 6 slices Paddy the Baker’s Seriously Seedy Soda Bread (see Note), buttered
Chilling time: 2 hours

Instructions

Place chicken in a heavy-based frying pan with spring onions, peppercorns, lemon juice and 250 ml water. Cover with a piece of baking paper and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and cook chicken for 4 minutes each side or until cooked through. Transfer chicken to a plate. Set aside to cool.

Chop chicken and place in a bowl with mayonnaise, tarragon, apple and caraway seeds. Stir to combine and season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate for 2 hours to allow flavours to develop. Top bread with chicken mixture and cut in half to serve.
