Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Watch closely when toasting the flaked almonds, they can burn fast.
Taste before serving: curry powders vary, add extra curry, lemon juice or chutney to taste, if needed.
Butter your bread well: it stops soggy sandwiches and adds flavour.
Layer generously: don’t skimp - the flavour combo is best when the filling is thick.
Store filling separately from bread if making ahead - keep in airtight container in fridge up to 2 days.
If preparing the filling ahead of time, leave toasting the flaked almonds until prior to assembling the sandwiches so that they stay crunchy.
Serving - these shredded chicken sandwiches are best served immediately. This recipe is not suitable for freezing.
