Chicken and Cheese Jaffles with Spicy Capsicum Sauce – Hayden Quinn

2 cups chopped cooked chicken

1⁄4 cup whole egg mayonnaise

1 small carrot, grated

1 celery stick, finely sliced

1⁄2 small red onion, finely diced

8 slices white bread

60g soft butter

8 slices tasty cheese

Capsicum Sauce

150g drained chargrilled red capsicum

1 garlic clove, crushed

1⁄3 cup sour cream

1 teaspoon chilli powder

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1   To make the capsicum sauce, combine all the ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper and transfer to a small bowl.

2   Heat a jaffle iron or sandwich toaster. Combine the chicken, mayo, carrot, celery and onion in a bowl, and season with salt and pepper.

3   Spread the bread with butter, then place half the bread slices, butter side down, on a board. Top each one with a slice of cheese, 1⁄4 of the chicken mixture, then another slice of cheese. Put the remaining bread slices on top, butter side up.

4   Lift a sandwich onto the jaffle maker and cook for a few minutes, until the bread is golden brown. Repeat with remaining sandwiches. Serve with the sauce for dipping.

Serves 4

***My Hint – if you don’t possess a jaffle maker ( and they are coming back into style) use a sandwich press **

These are perfect for lunch or to have  for a lazy super  – kids and adults will love them.
