The Best Ever Chicken Sandwich
This is definitely my favorite chicken sandwich ever and I hope it becomes yours too. Everything was just delicious and I can't wait to make this chicken sandwich all over again. I made everything from scratch including the bread but store bought sandwich bread works just fine, in fact I might prefer it over homemade bread mainly because of how long it took to make this bread
