Season chicken thighs with salt and black pepper the night before roasting.

Boil 3 cups of water in a pot.

Add packaged gravy mix to boiling water and whisk until smooth, cooking for 4 minutes.

Pick the roasted chicken with a fork to shred it into pieces.

Boil frozen peas in water for 30 seconds, then drain and toss with butter.

Assemble the sandwich by placing two pieces of bread on a plate, adding shredded chicken on top, and pouring gravy over the chicken.

Add a layer of peas on top of the gravy and finish with another slice of bread.

Garnish with flat leaf parsley if desired.
