Homemade Yuzu Salad Dressing (Optional)- 33cc olive oil (approx. 2.5 Tbsp)
- 33cc yuzu juice (approx. 2.5 Tbsp)
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 4 Tbsp vinegar
- 8 pinches of salt

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the bread. Take your two slices of baguette and lightly toast them in a lightly oiled pan over medium-low heat until they are golden brown and slightly crisp. This toasting step enhances the sandwich’s texture and flavor.
Step 2
Next, prepare the chicken breast. Slice the smoked chicken breast into approximately 0.5 cm thick pieces. Aim for even slices so they cook uniformly and are easy to bite into.
Step 3
Lightly pan-fry the sliced smoked chicken breast. While already cooked, a quick sear in a warm pan will bring out its savory notes and ensure it’s served warm. Cook over medium heat for about 1-2 minutes per side, just until heated through and slightly golden.
Step 4
Now, prepare the bread spread and fruit. Spread 1 tablespoon of honey mustard sauce evenly on the inside of each toasted baguette slice. This adds a delightful sweet and tangy base. Peel the golden kiwi and slice it thinly, about 0.3 cm thick.
Step 5
Assemble the base layers. On one slice of the baguette, arrange a generous handful of fresh lettuce leaves. Then, artfully place the sliced golden kiwi over the lettuce.
Step 6
Layer the star of the sandwich: the chicken breast. Carefully place the warm, pan-seared chicken breast slices on top of the kiwi and lettuce. Don’t be shy with the chicken; add as much as you like!
Step 7
Finish assembling and serve. Spread the remaining tablespoon of honey mustard sauce on the second slice of baguette and place it on top to complete the sandwich. You can secure it with a skewer if needed. Serve the sandwich on a plate, accompanied by a small side of fresh lettuce, extra pan-seared chicken breast, and a scattering of fresh blueberries. Drizzle generously with the yuzu salad dressing, or serve it on the side for dipping. Enjoy the bright, refreshing, and savory flavors! (For the homemade dressing: Whisk together olive oil, yuzu juice, lemon juice, vinegar, and salt until well combined.)
