Chef's Note
For extra flavor and time-saving, you can use rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the chicken breast. Just be sure to adjust the amount to maintain the protein content. This sandwich packs well for lunch on-the-go and the apple provides a refreshing sweet balance to the savory sandwich.
