Notes

a) Chicken - You can either roast a whole chicken. Or, you can use two large chicken breasts (approx 14oz/400g), season and fry both sides to get a nice colour, then fill up with water or chicken stock, pop a lid on and allow to simmer until cooked throughout. Depending on the size of breasts this could take between 8-12mins. Pop in a bowl and dice.
b) Walnuts - You can toast the walnuts, which will add a light smoky flavour. Just lightly toast in a dry frying pan over low-medium heat until fragrant and very slightly charred, shaking frequently. 
c) Subs and Extras - You can sub the walnuts for Pecans. Crispy bacon is always welcome, as is very finely diced red onion or spring onion. Dried cranberries also go very nicely!
d) Calories - Assuming 2 tsp butter per sandwich. Calories for one sandwich:
