I love sandwiches ! I never understood why it was seen by many as subpar, or something to eat when you’re short on time. A tasty sandwich can lighten up my day. When I was studying in Korea, I bought ready-made egg sandwiches at least once a week from the 7-eleven near my uni. They only contained eggs, mayo, and bread. I do not know their secret, but it was deliciously soft and moist. I wish I could find them in France.

Egg salad is always a good idea, especially in some sort of bread. Hence, this sandwich. The addition of chicken helps build the flavour and texture. The much-needed shallots, green onion and celery brighten up this classic blend while adding some crunch. Just add some creamy and tangy mayo with sriracha, and you’ve got yourself a damn good wrap.

Feel free to replace the wrap with another type of bread of your liking.

Leftover chicken, egg & celery wrap – Recipe

Ingredients – Advice & key points

• Mayonnaise : I recommend using a homemade mayonnaise. You can use my recipe for a foolproof mayonnaise.
• Chicken : I usually make this sandwich when I have leftover chicken. Alternatively, you can quickly pan-fry 1 large or 2 small chicken breasts, which will only take around 5 minutes per side.
• Salt and pepper : Use enough of them ! In simple recipes such as this one, you cannot be lacking in the seasoning department.
• For my vegetarian friends, I would double the amount of eggs, squish them a little with a fork, and mix them directly with the rest of the ingredients. As it would lack a bit in texture, I’d recommend using classic bread slices instead of a thin wrap.

Let’s wrap !

   Warm your wraps around 30 seconds per side on a heated pan or 30 seconds in the microwave ;  they'll get more pliable.
