Frequently Asked Questions
How do you prevent a chopped sandwich from getting soggy?
To prevent a chopped sandwich from getting soggy, hollow out a bit of the bread crumb from the sub roll and toast it lightly before packing in the salad. You can also drain the tomatoes before chopping.
Can I make this vegetarian?
Yes, you can easily make this vegetarian by substituting the chicken with cooked chickpeas or white beans.
What is the best bread for this sandwich?
A soft sub roll, hoagie roll, or a soft baguette works best because they hold the filling together without crushing the ingredients when you bite into it.
