Asian Inspired Chicken Pocket Sandwich

 

Ever wonder what to do with left over rice and chicken?  Well look no further.  I created this Chicken Pocket Sandwich using left overs.

I shared my Grilled Pastrami and Swiss Sandwich with you the other day.  I used angel Hair cole slaw in that recipe and I used it to make this Asian-Inspired Chicken Sandwich.

Sometimes I get bored with trying to come up with ideas for leftovers.  I also get bored with a traditional sandwich.

If you have any great sandwich ideas, let me know.

This is just the perfect sandwich to make with leftovers and it doesn’t feel like you are eating the same old same old.  I especially liked having the rice inside this sandwich.  I admit I was worried I wouldn’t like it, but luckily for you I did! :)

Have a great weekend.  Thanks for stopping by.

  1. Brilliant idea, Marlene! My kids tend to eat all the chicken and rice leftovers (leaving me with the cole slaw . . .) but I love adding veggies to sandwiches. My current favorite it dressing up a grilled cheese sandwich with shredded radishes and carrots, turnip pickles, and salad mix. Yum!

    Thanks!
