Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    In a large bowl, combine the chicken breasts, saffron, minced garlic, olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes.

  3. 3

    Shred the Chicken

    Once the chicken is cool enough to handle, shred it using two forks.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small bowl, mix the shredded chicken with the chopped preserved lemons, and half of the chopped parsley. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Slice the bread rolls or baguette in half. Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise on each side. Fill with the chicken mixture, top with sliced olives, French fries, and remaining parsley.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Close the sandwich and serve immediately, with extra fries on the side if desired.
