Hot Chicken Cuban Sandwich

The pre-cooked chicken comes to the rescue in this delicious Cuban sandwich variation. While a traditional Cuban sandwich would have slabs of slow-roasted pork, sometimes you just don’t have time for that. In this weeknight version, i replace the pork with chicken for a quick lunch or easy dinner - for best results i recommend eating them while they’re still hot just out of the pan, but have it on good authority that they are also delicious when packed for lunch.
