Chicken sandwiches are the ultimate workday lunch. Make an easy chicken recipe for dinner—they’re time savers that make sure you get your fill of lean protein—then save a little of the meat to stick between bread the next day. Like fried chicken? Throw it between two buns with some pickles and a bit of green leaf to make your coworkers jealous. Or combine those juicy bits from last night’s roasted chicken dinner with grilled tomatoes for the ultimate picnic entree. From 'Bama-style chicken sandwiches to to chicken schnitzel, here are our 8 best chicken sandwich recipes.
