I'm allergic to gluten, so I used gluten-free bread and flour. The sandwich turned out great! The chicken was still crispy and flavorful, and the sandwich held together well.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I substituted Greek yogurt in the sauce. It turned out great! The sandwich was still creamy and flavorful, but it was also a bit healthier.
