Ingredients

200g packet (8) rye mountain bread
1 large ripe avocado, mashed
1 large barbecued chicken, skin and bones removed and the flesh slivered
1⁄3 cup reduced fat salad cream or mayonnaise
1⁄3 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1 cup (20g) baby rocket

Preparation method

1. Spread each bread sheet thinly, almost to edges, with avocado.

2. Combine the chicken with enough mayonnaise to just moisten; season to taste with black pepper.

3. Spoon 1⁄2 cup mixture along one long edge of each sheet; top with a few nuts and rocket leaves. Roll bread tightly around filling. Cut crosswise into 6 pieces; arrange, seam-side down, on serving tray. Cover and chill until served.

Prepare the rolls up to 2 hours in advance; tightly cover with plastic food wrap and refrigerate. To prevent avocado browning, mash with a few drops of lemon juice.
