Chicken and Cheese Baguette with a Mango and Avocado Salad

Posted 2018-02-13 by finy ⇒ follow

This was a very easy meal to create and I used leftover cooked chicken that I had in the freezer.

If you do not have any, just boil some for a short time - breast meat is probably best for this, or even buy half a barbecue chicken and strip the meat.

Preparation Time: 25 minutes
Cooking Time: 35 minutes
Serves: 2

Ingredients
For the Chicken baguette
1 small [link http://reviewclue.com.au/menissez-bake-at-home-baguettes/ baguette] or half a normal one
1½ tbsp soft butter
About ¾ cup chicken cooked, shredded
1½ tbsp onion, chopped
½ tsp garlic
1 large egg
About 35 g cheese, grated - I used feta as had some left over
Bit of thyme (optional)
For the Mango salad
Baby spinach leaves
1 mango, sliced
1 avocado, sliced
About ½ cup cooked bacon pieces
Caesar salad dressing

Method
For the baguette

Bake the baguette if using a bake at home one, and when cool, slice lengthwise.

Preheat the oven to 175°/155° fan forced.

Scoop out a trough from each half, and soak that bread in milk.

Butter the baguette halves.

Combine all the other ingredients, including the now soaked bread.
