Sweet Chili and Ginger Grilled Chicken-Cheese Sandwich

TOTAL TIME

20mins

Ingredients

4 slices thick-cut white sandwich bread (toast-slice)

1 large chicken thigh (300g)

100g cabbage, shredded

50g red onion

2 tomato slices (1cm-thick rounds)

4 slices tasty cheese (or other melting cheese)

a pinch of salt

a pinch of coarse-ground black pepper

1/2 tbsp vegetable oil

3 tbsp Kikkoman Sweet Chilli Ginger and Soy

20g salted butter

Method

Cut the chicken thigh in half, then even out the thickness. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan on medium heat, then place the chicken skin-side down and cook until golden. When the chicken is thoroughly cooked, wipe out excess oil from the pan with a paper towel and pour in Kikkoman Sweet Chili Ginger and Soy. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.
Thinly slice the red onion against the grain, soak in water, then pat dry with paper towels.
Assemble the sandwiches: Lay a slice of cheese on 1 piece of the bread, then layer on 1/2 of the cabbage & red onions, 1 tomato slice, and 1 piece of chicken. Top with another slice of cheese and finish it off with a slice of bread. Use the remaining ingredients to make the other sandwich the same way.
Grill the sandwiches one at a time: Melt half of the butter in a frying pan on medium heat, then grill one side of the first sandwich until golden. Flip over and continue to grill. Once both sides are golden, reduce to medium-low heat, cover with a lid and cook for 1-2 minutes to allow the cheese to melt. Remove from the pan and cut in half. Grill the second sandwich in the same way.

Key tip

Grilling the sandwiches one at a time is easier and produces a better end result.
