I just had to tell you about this sandwich

Testing. Testing. Is this thing on?

Hello,

I’m not sure if The Working Lunch is coming back. This could be a one off. But I just had to tell you about this sandwich.

If you were a regular reader, back in the day, you’ll know that I love a leftover. You’ll also know that I love a hands-off easy meal that does its thing in the slow cooker while you get on with work. This sandwich is the best of both.

Last night’s slow cooker Honey & Sriracha Chicken turns into today’s lunch.

For the Honey & Sriracha Chicken, check out the recipe here on Bored of Lunch’s Instagram. It’s a good one to get on at lunchtime when you’re working from home. I’ve also tried it with Chipotle instead of Sriracha, for more smoke, less spice — also delicious.

This time I had some leftovers, so I immediately went to a hot sandwich.

To assemble:

• Fresh baguette, buttered

• Baby leaf spinach

• Shredded beetroot - the sweet & smoky one from Love Beets

• Honey & sriracha chicken - reheated and shredded

Hot, spicy, sticky chicken with its lovely sweet burnt bits sandwiched into a fresh baguette — honestly. The beets give a nice sweetness to balance the heat of the sriracha, just watch out for the drips.

Let me know if you make it! X
