Hi de ho everyone, this is my first forray into the world of sandwich filling ideas, I've been making this peanut butter chicken salad sandwich forever, for me. But now it has become a huge favourite of my eldest.

JUMP TO RECIPE

Now first things first, you may need to get over a couple of hangups before you can enjoy the idea of this sandwich. First, I know peanut butter and chicken in a sandwich seems weird. But think about the other amazing chicken and peanut combo.. chicken satay, and hopefully, that will help you get your head around the idea because I promise it is good!

Next, fruit in a sandwich and fruit with a meat. It's good. The salty creaminess of the peanut butter with the fresh sweetness of the apple os great! And let's not forget about all those other epic meat and fruit combos: Chicken and Cranberry, Pork and Apple, Chicken and Apricot.

Ok so hopefully I've convinced you, and these factors, the fruit, and the peanut butter really appeal to kids palates too, hence why I think this has become a firm favourite of my 5-year-old!

I have some other sandwich ideas for kids that might be up your alley as well.
