Chicken Suiza Melts

DSC_0476
Here's a recipe for one of the easiest week night meals I have made in a while. In less than 20 minutes you will have a very yummy melt in your mouth sandwich. I jumped on this recipe from my friend Siggy's blog when I saw it incorporated salsa verde. I just loooooove salsa verde. The mingling of the salsa, onions, and sour cream make this a tangy, juicy meal. If you don't like using rotisserie chicken I think using shredded boiled or baked chicken breast would work just as well, it might not be as juicy though!

  2. These look awesome! And I'm loving that they use a rotisserie chicken. That is the busy mom's best friend! :)
