Method
- Mix the chicken, nutmeg, mustard/piccalilli, sauces (if using), parsley/watercress, thyme and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Heat the oil in a small frying pan over a medium heat, then cook the chicken mixture for 8-12 minutes, stirring once or twice, until lightly golden and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, bring a small pan of water to the boil, carefully add the egg and fast-simmer for 6-8 minutes (depending how runny you like the yolk). Plunge into cold water, then peel and set aside.
- Using a stick blender, whizz the beans and mayonnaise/yogurt in a small jug (or mash with a fork for a chunkier consistency). Add the blended beans to the cooked chicken and mix well. Toast the bread, then spread it with the chicken/ bean mixture. Top with the boiled egg and some extra parsley or watercress. Serve with extra mustard or picalilli as you like.
