Last night was a busy night for the hubby and I and I had to come up with a quick dinner that wouldn’t leave us feeling cheated so I came up with this recipe for Indian chicken salad sandwiches.
My inspiration came from a jar of curry paste in my fridge, which I know is cheating but I love having the stuff around when I’m in rush to get dinner together. It’s not only a great product but it is available at most, if not all, grocery stores. I also had leftover chicken from the night before that I had to use and that’s how it all happened.....
