Chimichurri Chicken And Blistered Tomato Sandwiches

Summer is NOT over yet people. It seems as soon as August rolls around it starts to feel like it’s time to say goodbye to the summer vibes. I’m hoping to extend the season out as long as possible because there really is nothing better than it, right? A couple weeks back I shared a fun picnic that I’m dying to recreate again. I packed up some leftover chimichurri chicken and piled on blistered tomatoes and stuffed it inside some fresh crusty french bread. Which by the way, there’s just nothing better than crusty french bread, right?

This recipe is super simple and you can leave the bread out for a low carb version. Serve these chimichurri chicken sandwiches up with my Mom’s summer pasta salad which you can get the recipe for that here. To make this lower carb, top it all on fresh greens and add a simple vinaigrette with the chimichurri. So simple, and so fresh for summer!

Also check out my no bake key lime pies to finish it all off with! They’re so easy to whip together and are absolutely adorable. What’s your favorite summer sandwich?
