Australian Style Chicken Sandwiches

If you have never had an Australian Chicken Sandwich you don't know what you are missing!! They are delicious and way more sofisticated then the ones you get in England.

* 8 chicken breasts (skin off)
* Dried mixed herbs
* 1 stock cube
* 1 jar of egg mayonnaise (I like Helmans full fat)
* 2 bunches of chives (finely chopped)
* Bunch of Spring Onions (finely chopped)
* Cracked black pepper
* Sea Salt (to taste)
* Bag of spinach (optional – use this if you want to bulk up the mixture or make it a little more salady)
* 2 loaves of sliced soft white bread (give or take depending on your generosity of filling)
* Butter (but I think it is fine without)

- Poach the chicken breast in boiling water with the stock and herbs, then allow to cool
- Then dice the cooked chicken and combine with all the other ingredients (use only one bunch of the chives)
- Put a good amount of mixture in each sandwich.
- Cut of crusts with an electric knife (these are wonderful and very cheap to buy) as this is quick to do and creates an even finish
- Cut into triangles
- for an extra finishing touch if you are using them for a cocktail party, spread one edge of the sandwich in mayonnaise and then roll in chopped chives (one bunch)
