• 2 Tbsp fresh basil, chopped plus 4 sprigs for garnishing

• 4 red onion, thinly sliced

Cooking Instructions

1. Add the shredded chicken to a bowl with the mayonnaise and mix with a little seasoning.

2. Spoon onto rounds of the toasted farmhouse loaf and top with another slice of toast.

3. Stack the tomato and onion to form a tower effect and top with fresh basil leaves.

To make the home-made mayonnaise:

2. With the motor still running, slowly pour the oil, in a thin, steady stream, into the mixture until it becomes thick and creamy.
