During the dog days of summer, it’s important to have a variety of cold recipes in mind that won’t heat up you or the house. But that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice cooked proteins — this zesty chicken salad sandwich is packed with flavor and can be made using leftover chicken.
Chicken sandwiches are among the most popular delivery orders across America, but that doesn’t mean you can’t make something equally as delicious from home. In less than one hour, this incredible meal can be served for lunch or dinner.
To cut down on time, we recommend making chicken for dinner the previous night and storing some for the next day. Just make sure when it comes time to assemble the sandwich that the chicken is thoroughly shredded.
Mix the shredded chicken with mayo and tomatoes for added flavor then assemble the sandwich with avocado, pepper jack cheese and your choice of bread. But, if you don’t have chicken handy and don’t feel like going through the effort of cooking some, try one of these sandwich recipes better than mom used to make.
