Chicken Strip and Bacon Sandwich with Basil Cream Cheese
A fresh, satisfying but light sandwich.
I love a good chicken strip sandwich. It reminds me of lovely summers at the golf course. Enjoyable heartiness without being too heavy, the basil cream cheese adds a fresh flavor. Goes great with an icy glass of lemonade!
