Gourmet lemon chicken mayo tips

The recipe is great with bread rolls instead of sliced bread. If you want to make it even more decadent and fancy, add some butter into a pan and fry the bread with the butter for some flavour and crunch. The lemon adds some great zest to the sandwich and while the gherkins are also picked and double-down on the punch of flavour. You can also add some sliced jalapeño poppers if you you want to add some heat.
