Too Much Chicken Sandwich

Imagine coming home after a long day. You’ve planned to make grilled veggies & fish for supper. Take off your pants & shoes, pour yourself a glass of wine and then DARKNESS! Eskom has decided that your time has come. Yep. Those lames decided to hit me with load shedding just as I was “firing up” the oven. Eskom never loved us 😦

Luckily the Woolies in my hood has a generator. Unfortunately all the hippies in my hood are quicker at putting their pants & shoes on. All that was left, when I got to Woolies, was one rotisserie chicken.

The chicken was lovely but it was a lot (for 2 people). What was I going to do with the leftover “too much chicken” Make a sandwich using all the other “spares” in the fridge (oviaas). I really do mean it when I say leftovers/spares. I made this sandwich before we went grocery shopping. Fridge was 5-to-bare.

In case you are wondering why my garlic mayonnaise looks red, I mixed in a bit of pesto (there was a bit left in the jar). Waste not!

Easy Lunch neh?

*If you don’t have Jalapenos, you can add chilli flakes/chilli to the garlic mayonnaise. 

Spicy Tuna Mayo

Disclaimer: I use canned tuna. If this is any way gross then you should stop reading because I am not a food snob.

Not bad for tuna from a can ;)

Spicy Tuna Mayo Lunch: *Tuna + chopped red onion & cucumber + peri peri (use as much or as little as you can stand) + mayonnaise + (double cream) plain yoghurt.

Why add yoghurt? It makes it creamy and I don’t use as much mayonnaise.

Double cream though? Ha ha ha. Low Fat plain yoghurt tends to get “runny”. I want a creamy consistency. Double Cream is good for that.

*I used shredded Tuna but that is a personal choice.

This is my favourite tuna lunch. What is your favourite tuna combination?
