Ingredients
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup tinned chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1 roast chicken breast shredded
  • 1 avocado sliced
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • Handful fresh parsley chopped
  • Handful rocket shredded
  • 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled (optional)
Instructions
  1. Place the eggs on to boil in a small saucepan, covered with cold water. Bring to the boil, then take off the heat, cover and allow to stand for 12 minutes. This should give you perfectly hard boiled eggs with creamy yolks! Pour out the hot water and rinse with cold water once or twice until you can peel the eggs.
  2. While the eggs cook - Smash the chickpeas with a fork until mostly pasty with some chickpeas still whole.
  3. Now slice the eggs and add them to the chickpeas with the chicken, paprika, salt and black pepper and stir everything together with a fork, mashing the avocado as you go. Then gently stir in the parsley, rocket and feta cheese (optional).
  4. Once nicely combined, serve in sandwiches, bagels, on toast, with a green salad, or anything you like!
