Grilled Mexican Chicken Breast Sandwich

VickieVickie Lindstrom

This is one of those recipes that you need to just add the amount of each ingredient as you feel fit to accommodate how many people you are serving. Left over chicken breasts from the night before was the inspiration for this recipe. Peppers that needed to be used and an open half used packet of seasoning mix contributed to this fajita sandwich as well.
