I had leftover grilled chicken breast (cut in strips already) and happened across this recipe. I didn't have rye bread so I just used plain white. I used my Counter top George Foreman grill for these and it was amazingly delicious! Will definitely be making these in the future. Thanks for sharing

Oh my goodness, I LOVED this sandwich. I generally enjoy a sandwich anyway, but this one made me sad when it was gone (but it'll be lunch today). I used a very dark rye, and baby swiss, which I recommend. I did cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces, which worked well. Yum!!
