This sandwich is inspired by the delicious chicken and walnut sandwiches you can get from Santos Wholefoods at Sydney airport. Most airport food is awful, but the stuff at Santos is great. I’m a sucker for these sandwiches but I don’t go to the airport all that often, so this is my attempt to recreate it at home. If you don’t own a food processor, just chop all the dry ingredients really finely (except the sprouts and bread) before mixing it in a bowl with the mayo and mustard.
- 500g cooked chicken breast (you can boil some raw chicken breasts from the supermarket, or take all the meat off a BBQ chook)
- ½ cup walnuts (without the shells of course)
- 3 tbs mayonnaise
- 1 tbs mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Soft white bread
- Snow pea sprouts, cut in half
Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend for 5 – 10 seconds. Don’t overblend – it doesn’t need to be a paste, it just needs to be chopped finely. Transfer mixture to a bowl and taste it. Add more mayo, mustard and/or salt and pepper if necessary. Stir until combined.
On a slice of bread, spread a large tablespoon of chicken mixture and add just enough snow pea sprouts to cover. Top with another slice of bread. Cut into three equal sized sandwich fingers. Repeat for as many sandwiches as you desire or until you run out of chicken mixture. Serve.
