"This is similar to a sandwich made at my moms old restaurant. It is good as a sandwich or on its own with a salad and crusty bread..."

Totally wonderful in everyway! I followed this pretty much the way it was listed, except for these little changes, I used larger grape tomatoes ~ as I didn't have larger ones, and also, after browning the chicken, I just put in the oven to bake for 15 minutes, added cheese, and tomatoes, baked for 5 more minutes, and topped with cheese for another 1 minute. Came out perfectly! Served atop a nice bed of fresh greens, and this was delish! Thanks so much! Will make lots! -
WOW, this is the best tasting chicken dish I have had in a long time! I didn't use the roll, just served the "chicken stack" with a carrot salad and some steamed broccoli. This is very easy and totally scrumptious. -
Surprisingly delicious and easy!! -

Excellent chichen dish. I actually made as written except used Provolone cheese. Loved the combination in this recipe. I'll be making this one again and again. Thanks for sharing. -
Deliciously simple. <br/>I tweaked it a teeny bit, but only by cooking the chicken completely,loading up my roll with everything,including the avocado, wrapping it in foil, and baking it in the oven for about 15 minutes.<br/>Scrummy!!!

<p><span><strong>I am a stay at home mom to two wonderful boys; Joshua (8years), Kaiden (5 years), and baby GIRL, Madalynn (19 months)! I also have two fur babies (cats); Kobee, AJ; we had to put our youngest cat Sly down Jan 2014. :(. I am also married to my best friend, Jeff and have been since April 2005. I love cooking, hate cleaning and will do whatever I can to get out of it! I love grilling and baking. I do most of the grilling at my house, and bake for almost a week straight at Christmas time! I can make or will attempt just about anything, though I rarely make brownies, my husband's are the best! Homemade breads are not my friend, so I am always working on bread baking.</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>As for recipe ideas (besides zaar) Cooking Light Cookbooks are my favorites. I love to make new meals and try new things; it is hard though because my husband is picky when it comes to veggies (and hates seafood); If it were up to him we would have baked-bread crumb chicken and white rice at least one meal a day! Over the past couple years with zaar, I have found tons of new recipes my family normally wouldn’t eat but have been happily surprised with new favorites.</strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>I love to join in all of the tag games; I haven't been as present as I would like, but as soon as my Jeff is back from working in Ohio I will be back in full tagging mode! </strong></span></p>
<p><span><strong>Cooking is my hobby and passion, I always like to host the family get togethers and volunteer for the potluck dishes. Most of all though are my kids; being home all day with them is fun and challenging, but I wouldn’t trade it for any salary!!</strong></span></p>
