| Pesto Chicken with Celery & Radish Toast Topper/Sandwich filler |
Having mightily messed up a recipe for chicken wings, the 67goingon50 kitchen had a surplus of cooked chicken.
It was boring ripping the cooked flesh from the wings but in a cost of living crisis, we can't be fussy. And the chicken - which had been marinated in yoghurt - was tender and easily removed from the bones.
Other ingredients found while rummaging around in the fridge created a delightful mixture of creaminess, a bit of crunch, rich savouriness and a hint of heat.
The Chicken Pesto toast topper was served generously mounded on fresh seeded sourdough bread but certainly could have been stuffed into a sandwich or rolled into a wrap.
Cost: very little with leftovers but if starting from scratch, probably about £2 thick (2022)
Makes: 3 generous portions for sourdough toast; multiplies easily.
