These sandwiches were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll add some more mayonnaise next time.

These sandwiches are perfect for a quick and easy lunch. I usually make them with leftover chicken, but they're also great with grilled chicken.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. The sandwiches were still delicious.
