Cinco de Mayo leftovers: Mexican Chicken Club Sandwich


Did you have any Salsa Chicken leftover from Monday's Cinco deMayo Dinner? This is a Great way to use it. I make a Fantastic Chicken Club, but this one had Onions, Peppers & Avocado too! Wow!
Ya know if you don't have leftover chicken, a Rotisserie Chicken would do just as well here.
I pack these babies in my Bf's lunch and he is the talk of the Cafeteria! They are a handful, but boy are they tasty! Enjoy!
