The secret to a good bagel lies in the perfect balance between the softness of the bread and the zest of the seasoning. For this "premium" version, Pommery® Herb Mustard is a delicious alternative to butter or mayonnaise. It adds a unique aromatic touch (parsley, tarragon, chives) that instantly enhances roast chicken for a flavorful lunch.

The ingredients
-
Pommery® Herb Mustard
-
2 bagel breads (plain or with sesame seeds)
-
200g of roast chicken fillets (or leftover chicken)
-
A few crisp salad leaves (sucrine lettuce, batavia lettuce or rocket)
-
4 large malossol gherkins
-
Optional: a few slices of red onion
Recipe steps
-
Toasting. Cut the bagels in half widthwise. Toast them briefly in a toaster or under the oven broiler to achieve a slightly crispy exterior while keeping them soft inside.
-
The aromatic base. Spread the Herb Mustard generously on the bottom and top of each bagel. Its fresh, vegetal flavor will infuse the still-warm bread.
-
Assembly. Place a bed of crisp salad on the base. Add the roasted chicken slices evenly on top.
-
The finishing touch. Slice the pickles lengthwise into thin strips and arrange them on top of the chicken. Add the red onion rings if you'd like extra crunch, close the bagel, and enjoy immediately.
💡 Perfect pairing: This recipe is the ideal zero-waste tip for using up leftover Sunday roast chicken. For a melty, gooey version, add a slice of cheddar cheese on top of the chicken before baking the bagel. Serve with a small tomato salad or some artisanal chips.
