Instructions
Marinate the chicken in the spices listed and set it aside for at least 30 minutes, or you can leave it overnight.
Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes each side until cooked through. Remove it from the pan and set it aside to cool. Chop the chicken into small pieces.
Prepare the filling: combine the chicken, all the vegetables, mustard, mayonnaise, milk/sour cream and cream cheese. Add spices and mix it all together.
Assemble the sandwiches: place 6 slices of bread on a chopping board spread the filling over 4 slices. Top 2 of those with a cheese slice and the other 2 with shredded mozzarella. Now close the sandwiches up so it’s a triple decker sandwich.
Melt some butter in a large pan. Toast the sandwich on all sides until golden and crunchy.
Slice and serve with fries and coleslaw.
