  1. Heat the grill to high. Place the bread on a baking tray and toast one side until lightly golden.

  2. Melt the butter in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the garlic and chilli and cook for 30 seconds.

  3. Add the chicken and spring onions and stir-fry for 2–3 minutes until piping hot. Remove from the heat and mix with the mayonnaise, soy sauce and black pepper.

  4. Turn the toast over and pile the chicken mixture on top. Scatter with the Cheddar and mozzarella.

  5. Grill for 2–4 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and golden. Finish with herbs and serve immediately.

Notes

Use leftover roast or air-fried chicken, but reheat it until piping hot.
Add sweetcorn or finely sliced peppers to the topping if you have them.
Watch the grill closely; the cheese can catch quickly.
About this recipe

This loaded cheese toast turns cooked chicken into a quick, satisfying meal. The chicken is warmed with garlic, fresh chilli, spring onions, mayonnaise and light soy sauce, then spooned over toast for a savoury, creamy topping.

A generous layer of mature Cheddar and mozzarella melts under the grill until bubbling and golden. Finish with chopped coriander or parsley and serve straight away while the bread is crisp and the cheese is at its best. It is especially useful when you have cooked chicken to hand and want something more substantial than a plain sandwich.
