    The big advantage of making a big roast chicken, beef, or lamb is the leftover. I love sandwiches, especially after a big meal day. As a mom, it's a great way to use up leftovers, and the kids can also help by making their own sandwiches. And, this one is so easy that my kids make it often.

    • Bread - We love challah, so I am using two slices of challah. And yet, you could just about use any sandwich bread for this sandwich.
    • Veggies - For me, adding veggies to a sandwich is a great way to get kids to eat more veggies.
    • Butter - You can omit the butter but it just adds a little more flavor to the delicious challah.
    • Cheese - I used 2 slices of Emmental cheese, but cheddar or any sliced yellow cheese would work for this.
    • Cranberry sauce - When I have cranberry sauce on hand I use it. If not, you can also use mayonnaise or mustard. And, you can also use some turkey gravy to make a moist turkey sandwich.

    Step by step instructions

    • For one sandwich, place two bread slices in front of you. Spread butter on one and cranberry sauce on the other.
    • Next, top the buttered side with shredded chicken, followed by cheese, tomato slices, and lettuce.
    • Then, place the cranberry side on top and put it in the  or sandwich press.
    • Grill for 2 minutes, until nice and toasted. Then, remove, cut into half and serve.
    • I served these with baked oven fries, but a side of salad or soup is perfect too.

      I love that you added cranberry sauce. We all have some leftover after Christmas and I bet it works well with the cheese too.
