Pesto chicken salad sandwich

Use the leftover roast chicken from Sunday dinner to whip up this tasty, flavour packed pesto chicken salad sandwich for Monday lunchtime.

A delicious combo of pesto, creamy mayonnaise and roast chicken tossed together and packed into a sandwich with Italian style salad leaves.

We quite like a little side of Yushoi Snapea rice sticks, they’re tasty little rice and pea baked snacks, totally yum!
