Ingredients

Felicity's chicken sandwiches

2.5 boneless skinless chicken thighs – free range if possible

1/4 onion, sliced

1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed

juice and zest of ½ lemon

2 teaspoon olive oil

small handful fresh herbs (parsley, basil, coriander, mint or tarragon work well)

50 millilitre sour cream

salt and pepper

20 slices white sandwich bread

handful of rocket

cress to decorate

Method

1.Heat oven to 200°C. Combine first five ingredients and place in a small casserole or ovenproof dish – you want them to fit snugly, so they don’t dry out.

2.Cover and bake for 20-25 minutes, until cooked through. Cool slightly.

3.Place the chicken and the cooking liquid in a food processor and pulse to chop. You do not want a purée.

4.Add a good handful of roughly chopped herbs and pulse again.

5.Remove to a bowl and mix through 40ml of sour cream, to create a rough, but spreadable mixture. Add a little more sour cream if desired. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6.Make into sandwiches using buttered, thin-sliced white bread and chopped rocket. Trim off the crusts, cut into triangles and decorate with cress to serve.

For your cucumber sandwiches, take fresh, white, sliced bread, smear lightly with butter and top with thin slices of cucumber and chopped mint. Cut into triangles. Cover with a damp clean cloth.
