Sandwich was ok. Kind of bland. The picture looks better than it taste.

This recipe works great for someone who is cooking for two. My fiance doesn't like a lot of "health" food, but he loved this. With some organic bean dip, organic salsa and free range chicken, it was easy to adapt this recipe to our needs.

Oh my gosh, this was delicious! I tweaked it a little though. Instead of the beans, I spread some guacamole on. Mmm... Definitely try this. You get protein from the chicken, fiber from the bread, protein from the beans (or healthy fat from guac, like on mine), a low-cal way to spice it up from the salsa and some lovely texture from the lettuce!
