Cilantro-Lime Chicken Sandwiches image

You can use any type of bread or roll for this sandwich. We like the ciabatta, but have used other breads and rolls, whatever I might have handy. You can also pan fry the chicken if you can't get to a grill.-Debbie Speckmeyer, Lakewood, California

These sandwiches were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.
