We love trying new recipes. Sometimes you get great ones that you want to make over and over, and other times you end up with a dud. Fortunately, this Italian chicken sandwich recipe was a huge success! We loved it! We have actually made this a couple of times and are just now sharing it because we tweaked a few things. It is now exactly the way we love it and …
