Savour the Season: Three Summer Chicken Sandwiches 

Savour the Season: Three Summer Chicken Sandwiches 

Posted by Copas Farm Shop on 8th Jul 2025

Who doesn't love a delicious sandwich during the warmer months, fresh, fuss-free and full of flavour. 

The team have voted and pulled together three of their favourite summer sandwich recipes, each one showcasing Copas’s ethically raised, free-range chicken. Whether you’re packing a picnic, enjoying lunch in the garden or preparing a quick weekday meal, these sandwiches offer a perfect balance of ease and quality.

Grilled Chicken Breast with Basil Mayonnaise & Heritage Tomatoes

A light, vibrant sandwich that’s ideal for sunny days. Start by grilling Copas’ free-range chicken breast fillets which are tender, juicy, and rich in flavour. Once cooled and sliced, I layer them into a soft ciabatta roll with a generous spread of basil mayonnaise, slices of sweet heritage tomatoes, and a few crisp lettuce leaves. A pinch of sea salt and black pepper brings everything together.

Ingredients:

  • Free-range chicken breast fillets
  • Heritage tomatoes
  • Basil (or basil mayonnaise)
  • Mayonnaise (and combine with the fresh basil)
  • Crisp lettuce
  • Artisan ciabatta rolls

Chicken Leg Confit with Pickled Cucumber & Crème Fraîche

    This one feels a little more indulgent and is perfect if you are looking for a lunch to show off. Using free-range chicken legs, slow-roast or confit them until the meat is falling off the bone (you may want to do this the night before). Once shredded and chilled, I layer the meat with quick-pickled cucumber ribbons (just dip in and out again) and a dollop of crème fraîche, all served on a lightly toasted brioche bun. The contrast of rich chicken and sharp pickles is a lovely summer combination.

    Ingredients:

    Chicken, Avocado & Lemon Mayonnaise Wrap

      For a quick, nutritious lunch that travels well, this wrap is our team's favourite. Dice grilled chicken breast and toss it with fresh avocado, lemon juice and a touch of mayo. Wrapped up with mixed salad leaves in a soft tortilla, it’s light yet satisfying, the kind of meal you can eat at your desk or out in the sun.

      Ingredients:

      • Free-range chicken breast
      • Avocados
      • Lemons
      • Mayonnaise
      • Mixed salad leaves
      • Tortilla wraps
