I didnt have focaccia so I used corn tortillas that I warmed up in the pan. Delish! Will make again!
Spicy Chicken and Arugula Sandwich
Randy Mayor; Melanie J. Clarke
We found plain focaccia, perfect for this sandwich, at the deli counter. The arugula adds a peppery bite, but any other salad green will work.
