Chicken Tramezzini Sandwich

Dean Diplock's Chicken Tramezzini Sandwich
(Serves 2)

Marinated Chicken

2 190g Chicken Breast cut in half

2 tbsp. Olive Oil

1/2 tsp. Garlic Powder

1/2 tsp. Onion Powder

1/2 tsp. Paprika

1/2 tsp. Chilli Powder

1/2 tsp. Cumin Powder

1/2 tsp. Coriander Powder

1/2 Chicken Stock bouillon cube

Pepper to taste

15g Rockfield Sheep's Milk Cheese, grated or white cheddar cheese or Gruyere cheese

Method:

1. Cut the chicken breasts in half horizontally. Lay one at a time in between two layers of Clingfilm and flatten with a meat tenderizer hammer or rolling pin

2. Combine all the remaining ingredients (except cheese) with the oil and brush onto the 4 flattened chicken breasts & season with pepper

3. In a moderately hot pan, sear the chicken breasts on both sides. They will cook very quickly as they are thin.

4. Turn off the heat, top the breasts with the cheese and cover with a lid to allow the cheese to melt.

 

Tzatziki

150g Velvet Cloud Sheep's Milk yoghurt or Greek Yoghurt

1/2 Cucumber

1-2 Crushed garlic cloves

1 tbsp. Olive oil

1 tsp. Lemon juice (or white wine vinegar)

1 tsp. Chopped mint

1 tsp. Chopped dill

1/2 tsp. Salt

Pepper to taste

Method:

1. Peel cucumber, cut in half lengthways and de-seed using a teaspoon, then coarsely grate.

2. Put grated cucumber into a sieve suspended over a bowl, sprinkle over 1/2 tsp. of salt and mix through.

3. Place a plate on top of cucumber and allow cucumber to drain for approximately 1 hour, or until water stops dripping (whichever is first).

(this step can be speed up by wringing it in cheesecloth, but keep the salt in for taste though)

4. Combine all the remaining ingredients with the drained cucumber and mix thoroughly.
