Start by seasoning the chicken with KN seasoning cubes, paprika powder, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Add a small splash of oil to help everything coat nicely.

Heat a little oil in a pan and add the seasoned chicken. Let it brown on one side for about 4 to 5 minutes before flipping to brown the other side.

Once the chicken is golden and cooked through, take it off the heat and shred it using a fork or cut it into small chunks right in the pan.

Chop up the hardboiled eggs right into the pan with the chicken.

Add a generous scoop of mayonnaise to the chicken and eggs. Optionally, swap the mayo for Greek yogurt for more protein.

Add finely diced bell peppers and parsley to the mixture and combine well.

Butter both sides of your bread slices and place them in a sandwich maker.

Spoon the chicken and egg mixture generously onto each slice of bread, top with another slice, and close the sandwich maker.

Toast until the bread is golden and crisp, then serve on a plate with a fresh side of salad and a light drizzle of cream if desired.

For the loaded moyoy, season chicken breast pieces in a bowl with KN seasoning cubes, paprika powder, chili powder, and a pinch of salt, adding a splash of oil and mixing until well coated.

Heat a bit of oil in a pan and stir fry the chicken until nicely browned and fully cooked, then set aside.

In a blender, add washed peeled beans, half of the cooked chicken, tatache, shambo, garlic, onions, and two raw eggs. Season with KN seasoning cubes and chili powder.
