Meh. I was expecting more flavor from this sandwich. The chicken was a bit dry and the vegetables were bland.

So easy and so good! I used pesto instead of mayonnaise and it was a hit at my picnic.

This sandwich is a great way to use up leftover grilled chicken. It's also a great option for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. I added some avocado and arugula to mine and it was delicious! Will definitely make it again!
