Delicious Chicken Sandwich Recipe

One of our local newscasters highly recommended a sandwich joint on the morning show a couple of months ago.  My husband joked that he is ruined for those kind of places because we have gourmet sandwiches at home all of the time and he likes ours better.  I think one of the secrets is definitely a great bun or roll and I make my own but you can get good ones at the deli or store.  Then just have fun with it.  It is a great way to use leftover meat if you don’t feel like making something new.  Fry or grill up some veggies (onions, mushrooms, peppers or whatever), maybe some sun dried tomatoes, add your favorite cheese maybe lettuce and tomatoes, then add your favorite dressing or olive oil.  Sometimes with enough delicious veggies you don’t even need a sauce.  Everyone is willing to pay big bucks at the restaurant for a delicious sandwich when you can make it for a fraction of the cost at home.  This is the version we had tonight.
