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 …

How It All Started… We had such a great time talking with Matt and Jeanne Rue at Rue Farms Rustic Potato Chips.  They have one of those neat and fun stories on how they got started in their business of making potato chips.  About five years ago their daughter gave them a fryer as a Christmas gift.  At first they had no idea what they would do with it.  Finally, …
