# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Everything you adore about the classic salad but portable and actually more satisfying
  • The homemade dressing comes together in two minutes and keeps for weeks in the fridge
  • Perfect for using up leftover grilled chicken or rotisserie from the grocery store
02 -
  • Letting the chicken rest before slicing is the difference between juicy meat and dry disappointing strips
  • Toasting the buns creates a seal that keeps the dressing from making the bread soggy within minutes
  • The dressing tastes better after sitting for 10 minutes so the garlic mellows into the other ingredients
03 -
  • Grill extra chicken breasts when you have the grill going and use them throughout the week
  • The dressing makes enough for at least 8 sandwiches so keep the extra in a sealed jar
  • If your buns are stale, brush them with olive oil and toast them a bit longer
