Chicken Spiedini Vodka Parm Sandwiches

I recently made a big batch of Chicken Spiedini aka Lemon Butter Chicken, and was coming up with other ways to eat it other than the classic caesar salad topping.

I decided that since we’re in September now, it’s time to fatten up! This is Chicken Spiedini Vodka Parm Sandwiches and they’re AMAZING. I used a copycat version of Carbone’s Spicy Vodka Sauce- it’s to DIE FOR!!

Enjoy!
