Popeye's Favorite Muscle Booster Sandwich-Spinach, Chicken image

To say this is an Italian fusion sandwich would be stretching it but to say that it is full of flavor and healthy is true.. Makes a great lunch sandwich with a bowl of soup on the side.for 4 or as a dinner main dish for two perhaps served with onion rings and oven fries. I like to use Herb Focaccia (home made or bought) but in a pinch regular sandwich buns will do. Add whatever condiments you like I have suggested sliced sweet onion, tomato and cheese. If you are just trying to get your family to eat spinach cut it back to 5 oz.

I'm not a big fan of spinach, but this sandwich was still really good. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the bread was soft and fluffy.

This sandwich is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some grilled chicken in the fridge and it worked perfectly.
