Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    We've replaced ingredients with great-tasting alternatives to create better-for-you recipes that are just as yummy as the original.
  • tip 2
    Spinach is a nice substitute for the romaine, or mix spinach and romaine instead.
  • tip 3
    The chicken can be used warm, or you can cook it ahead of time and store it in the fridge until you make the sandwiches.
