Five Yummy Halal Sandwich Filling Ideas

In this post I share five halal sandwich filling ideas.

Perfect for lunch at work/school/home, or for jacket potatoes or sides in your meals at home. They can also be added to salad for a healthier option.

1) Pulled Chicken Filling

Ingredients required:

• Chicken Drumsticks x 2 (skin off)
• 1 tablespoon Sunflower Oil
• ¼ teaspoon Salt
• ⅛ teaspoon Red Chilli Powder
• 3 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon BBQ Sauce

Method:

1. Heat the oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Stir in the salt and red chilli powder, then place the chicken drumsticks in the pan. Cook the drumsticks for 10-15 minutes or until chicken is cooked thoroughly (add a little water if too dry). Turn the drumsticks using tongs to cook all sides evenly.
2. Transfer chicken to a large plate and allow to cool. Remove chicken from bones. Using two forks, pull the chicken into thin shreds (use one fork to hold the chicken in place, and the other to pull the chicken).
3. Add 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of BBQ sauce to the chicken and mix well.
4. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate.
