There are few sandwiches that I enjoy more than fresh chicken sandwiches. Lunch meat (a.k.a. deli meat) is fine, and I've definitely eaten a ton of it over the years, but you can't beat the flavour and texture of real chicken. Usually I make sandwiches like these from leftover roasted chicken, but baked chicken breasts work just as well.
My Auntie Nyla introduced me to the honey mustard spread in this recipe. She whips up several of these sandwiches every week and has perfected a tasty mixture that pairs well with both chicken and turkey sandwiches. The secret ingredient is a bit of hot sauce, which adds both heat and acidity to an otherwise rich spread.
Before we get to the recipe, I just want to share one little tip with you. I use Organic Vegenaise Dressing and Sandwich Spread instead of mayonnaise when I make this recipe, even though I'm not vegan. I actually have a strong food sensitivity to eggs, so I try to avoid eating them whenever possible. But aside from that, I've found that Vegenaise is tastier than regular mayonnaise, so it's worth looking into if you want to add more flavour to your sandwiches.
I hope you enjoy making this easy recipe. If you've got any yummy sandwich recipes on your blog, please share them with me in the comments below!

Thanks Heidi! I actually kind of suck at photography, it's photo editing that I'm good at 😛

Shareba, this sandwich sounds delicious! I love a sandwich that isn't just lunch meat. Chicken breast sounds delicious and this honey mustard spread sounds amazing! I love honey mustard and am liking the addition of the hot sauce. I'm definitely trying this one 😀
Shareba Abdul says
It's a nice sandwich spread on it's own, but I think the hot sauce takes it to another level. Mind you, my aunt uses homemade Caribbean hot sauce, which is basically liquid fire 😛
Matt Robinson says
Love the flavoring in this sandwich, especially the use of Vegenaise, which I have never tried. However, I get so tired of plain mayonnaise, so I will have to give this a try. Thanks!

Thanks Matt! I really like the flavour of the organic Vegenaise, and I find it isn't as heavy.
