Tuscan-Style Grilled Chicken Sandwich

Pat Christofolo runs the kitchen at this restaurant, located only a few minutes from downtown Phoenix. She's particular about the way she puts this sandwich together: The mayo should touch both the chicken and greens, so each has its own bit of dressing.

Type: Chicken, Poultry
Courses: Main Course, Sandwiches
Serves: 2 people
