Curried Chicken Sandwich with Green Apple and Raisins

Last Updated on February 2, 2013 by Karen

It’s sad, really, how often I think about my meals and desserts (especially desserts) ahead of time.  There is a rare breed of people who never crave any specific food, and I’ve realized I am not one of those people.  Earlier this week, I had a craving for chicken sandwich.  Pesto chicken and chicken BLT are thoroughly tasty options, but I had a specific craving for curried chicken sandwich with a bit of a kick, a crunchy bite, and a touch of sweetness.  I roasted a chicken with this sandwich in mind, and intentionally saved a huge chunk of chicken breast before anyone could claim a stake on the roasted chicken (ha! ha!).

If you don’t have any leftover roasted chicken on hand, feel free to use poached chicken breast or store-bought rotisserie chicken.  Easy to make ahead of time, delicious to eat…this is totally my kind of lunch!
