Canyon Ranch Chicken Asparagus Sandwich
The next time you are stuck for sandwich ideas for your brown bag lunch, assemble this fresh tasting Canyon Ranch Chicken Asparagus Sandwich from leftover ingredients you probably had for supper — roasted chicken, asparagus, and tomatoes from a salad perhaps. Set just a few portions aside to be sure you have leftovers for this sandwich. If isn’t grilling season, just substitute oven roasted chicken breast, or, breast torn from a grocer’s rotisserie chicken. It’s also delicious with grilled leftover salmon.

Commenting on my favorite spa recipes! This sandwich is good.
We make chicken often, we make asparagus often. I always make sure I pound thin a few extra chicken tenders and keep them grilled for this sandwich the next day, it’s one of our favorites. We’ve tried it open faced and it is less calories, but we prefer it on small pretzel buns, just so much flavor. My daughter, who can afford the extra calories, always adds a bit of brie cheese to hers and when it melts with the hot asparagus and chicken she says “the best ever.”
Actually a surprisingly elegant sandwich. I used roast chicken I had leftover. Served it with a chilled Chardonnay. Yummy!
