Tips for Making the Best Sandwich

Meal prep hack: Grill extra chicken ahead of time for quick weekday sandwiches.
Avocado tip: Add a squeeze of lime to sliced avocado to prevent browning.
Bread matters: Ciabatta or sourdough holds up best to juicy fillings.
Make it spicy: Add jalapeños or pepper jack cheese for extra heat.
Toasted rolls with garlic, grated cheese, and olive oil make the best sandwiches.
Broil the top for a crispy cheese
Use cooked, breaded, grilled, or rotisserie chicken for your filling. Any low-fat and antibiotic-free deli chicken can be substituted for this sandwich
Top with crispy bacon, tomato, and lettuce if desired
For leftovers, wrap in foil and heat for a hot sandwich. The cheeses we use are extra sharp cheddar, try pepper jack, swiss, blue cheese crumbles, gouda, Havarti, provolone, mozzarella, or whatever kind you prefer
Swap chicken for grilled portobello mushrooms or chickpea patties
Add roasted garlic to the sandwich or sautéed onions and mushrooms
Pair with a fresh salad for a lighter meal.
Serve with sweet potato fries or chips for a heartier option.
Wrap it in a tortilla for a chipotle avocado chicken wrap
Health swap: Use Greek yogurt mixed with chipotle instead of mayo for a lighter spread.
