Marry Me Chicken Sandwich

Posted · by The Hangry Wife

The sandwich that’s legally binding in 50 states. It’s National Chicken Sandwich Day, too? You’ve got to make this.

Crispy chicken, creamy and spicy tomato sauce, burrata, pesto and arugula piled onto buttery Parmesan toasted buns.

I’m not saying this sandwich will get you a ring, but I’m not NOT saying it 😉
