Method
1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Place the bread rolls onto a baking tray and bake for 5-8 mins or until nicely golden brown & crisp. Set them aside to cool slightly.
2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a grill pan over medium heat. Season the chicken and cook, turning for 8-10 mins or until golden and cooked through, all the way through (you don't want to accidentally give your family salmonella).
3. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool and then thinly slice it.
4. Cut the rolls down the middle but don't cut right through them. Spread the pâté (if you're into that) and then fill the rolls with the chicken, carrot, cucumber, mayonnaise, shallot, chilli and coriander.
5. Serve and eat them (we're so jealous).
