Does a toastie need cheese to taste delicious? Not this one. Here's a flavour-packed, fresh, and delicious roast chicken and red cabbage slaw toasted sandwich. It has the perfect mix of spice, it's slightly creamy, and is filling yet still fresh and light.
This one is a favourite in our house, especially during the colder months when cabbage is in abundance. Perfect for when I'm craving something warm and delicious, yet still nourishing.
The key to this toastie's success? Opt for good quality bread, like thick-sliced sourdough that can handle the hearty filling. I’ve used a thick-sliced high-top sourdough, but feel free to use your favourite.
Store-bought rotisserie chicken works great in this, but feel free to use any chicken leftovers you may also have.
This recipe makes one sandwich, but simply increase the quantities based on the number of sandwiches you’re making.
Hope you enjoy and let me know if you make it! @gatherandfeast #gatherandfeast
