Method
- Heat a small frying pan over a low-medium heat. Add the nuts and toast for 2-3 minutes, tossing the pan regularly, then tip out into a medium bowl. Toast the fennel seeds in the same pan for 1 minute, then roughly crush in a pestle and mortar (or bruise in the bottom of a teacup with a wooden spoon handle). Add to the toasted nuts, then mix in the yogurt.
- Gradually whisk the oil into the yogurt mixture, then loosen with a few drops of olive brine (or just use water). Fold the prunes, olives, celery, chicken and chilli (if using) into the dressing, then season with some salt.
- Pile the chicken mixture onto one slice of the bread/toast, then top with the salad leaves and the second slice. Cut in half and stack to serve.
