*Tips

• Cooked chicken could include store bought BBQ chicken. Or this is a great way to use up leftover roast chicken meat.
• You can swap the bread slices for a bread roll or wrap (wholemeal or wholegrain if it is available). If your child will only eat white bread, try to choose a variety with added fibre.
• You can replace sweet chilli sauce with mayonnaise.
• You can replace chicken with canned tuna or canned salmon.
• If making for school, place the sandwich in an air-tight container or wrap with cling wrap or foil to keep the sandwich fresh.
• Don’t forget to add a frozen drink bottle or ice brick to keep the food cool and safe.
