On hot summer days, the last thing I want to do is turn on my stove. One of my favourite summertime meals is a crisp and refreshing sandwich that requires little prep and no stove. A sandwich is also a great way to ensure you are having a balanced meal - whole grain carbohydrates, lean protein and loaded with veggies for fibre. This sandwich uses leftover rotisserie chicken as the protein source - one of my summertime staples for quick, nutritious and delicious meals. Loaded with your favourite veggies, this sandwich can be customized to your preferences and enjoyed year-round!
