This is a nice sandwich with grilled chicken and bacon as the main flavors. It's quite heavy flavors overall with the pickled red onion acting as a lovely little sour flavor enhancer.

I used a package (4 large slices) of ready-made sandwich base 26cm x 38cm, which I bought at snabbgross.

It is not particularly difficult to make a sandwich cake, but there are a lot of ingredients to handle and it requires some time. The different mixes are just a matter of combining ingredients and mixing a bit, but the decoration can take some time.

When I made this particular sandwich cake that I also photographed, I bought regular grilled chicken where I should have bought really thin slices instead. They would have been easier to use for decoration and I'm not entirely happy with how this one looked. It tasted good anyway. :)

I use around 400g of chicken which is a little less than what I got out of a ready-made grilled chicken. This can of course vary, but a smaller grilled chicken should be enough.

I have used a little curry powder in the chicken mixture at some point which I thought turned out well. Overall I think that if the mixture you mix is ​​good on its own, it will be good in the sandwich cake. So try mixing 3 mixtures that all taste very good and you will probably get good results.
