Time to cook.
In a small bowl combine all of the Special Sauce ingredients. Looks pretty special, right?
I cut what was left of the white meat from my leftover chicken.
For a 12" piece of baguette spread 3 tablespoons of special sauce on the bottom slice of bread. Spread the leftover chicken on top. Season with salt and pepper. Then generously pile on some roasted peppers, followed by some onions. Garnish with a few pieces of lettuce. Coat the top piece of bread with another 2 - 3 tablespoons of special sauce.
It's ready! It looks perfect and tastes delicious. Serve with a few chips and you’re good to go.
Enjoy!
