In this elevated sandwich, the pieces of chicken thigh are seared in a skillet rather than fried in oil. And with a panko breading, they become voluminous and rich in texture. Opt for a crustless bread for this sandwich, given that the breaded chicken is already crispy. Try a brioche bun that’s pillowy and buttery, and garnish with a spicy pepperoncini pepper mayonnaise.

Grilled Beef and Marinated Fennel Sandwiches with Mustard Sauce
For an abundant beef sandwich, opt for a rib-eye steak due to the fact that it’s marbled, and therefore rich in flavour. Choose a thick cut so that it’s cooked until perfectly pink on the inside. Garnish with caramelized onions and a quick and easy Béarnaise sauce made with sour cream, mustard, tarragon and chopped pickles. It pairs wonderfully with the beef.

Chocolate and Berry Pudding
You can prepare these jars of pudding in advance and keep them in the refrigerator until they’re ready to be served.
