Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for organic, free-range chicken and fresh, crisp vegetables.
Don't be afraid to experiment with spices: Curry powder is a blend of many different spices, so feel free to add additional spices to taste. Some good options include cumin, coriander, paprika, and turmeric.
Cook the chicken thoroughly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure that it is safe to eat.
Let the chicken cool before shredding it: This will make it easier to shred and will help to prevent the chicken from becoming dry.
Use a good quality bread: A sturdy bread will hold up well to the curry sauce and chicken. Some good options include sourdough, French bread, or ciabatta.
Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken: This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
Serve the sandwiches immediately: This will help to ensure that the bread is crispy and the chicken is warm and flavorful.
