Chicken club sandwich

Sometimes the simplest dishes are the best- serve with chips for the ultimate supper.

We love a classic club sandwich but we've gone a step further and added in tender chicken breast slices.

Ours is filled with wholegrain mustard, tomatoes, mature Cheddar, basil, avocado and rocket - but feel free to sub with anything you already have in your fridge.

This is a great sandwich to serve at any Coronation picnics, or if you're having an afternoon tea with friends or family.

Pair with an icy cold cider, or a glass of Champagne for a sophisticated lunchtime setting.
