This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I used a rotisserie chicken and it worked perfectly. The sandwiches were delicious!

I love the combination of flavors in this sandwich. The chipotle sauce is the perfect balance of spicy and smoky. I'll definitely be making this again.

I liked the idea of this recipe, but I found it to be too spicy. I think I'll try using a different sauce next time.

The chicken was a bit bland, even with the chipotle sauce. I think I'll try adding some additional spices next time.

5 stars! This recipe is a keeper. The chicken was so moist and flavorful, and the chipotle sauce was the perfect complement. I'll definitely be making this again.

Easy to make and delicious. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly in the skillet. The chipotle sauce was flavorful, but not too spicy. My family loved these sandwiches!
