Picnic season is in full force here because the weather is nice {not too hot yet} and it is such a great time to be outside. We are so lucky to have a bunch of different places to go for picnics around here and we really try to take advantage of them whenever we can.  Of course, sometimes we just like having sandwiches and other typical picnic fare at home for lunch too.  Last year, I shared one of my favorite sandwiches and I wanted to bring them back this year because they are just so delicious.  I actually  had one of this balsamic chicken sandwich for lunch today and I was reminded exactly how tasty they are!

I made a change to the bread for the sandwich this time around and, during lunch today, I added some smashed avocado too and it was so delicious. You can easily add and take away things from the sandwich to make it your own.  I never eat mine with tomatoes because I just don’t like them and I sometimes add sprouts.  It is so versatile.
