This is turning out to be a week of secondary use of ingredients – you know, leftovers. The other day we made chicken Marsala. John could not fit all the tiny chicken thighs in the pan so we had two left over. So, what to do with two small pounded out chicken thighs. We decide on crispy chicken sandwiches.

John puts a light breading on the chicken and pan fries them in a little olive oil. I toast the buns, spread on some mayo and sriracha, and add some lettuce. We have a little broccoli and a lone carrot left so I make a broccoli/carrot salad with a sweet and tart celery seed dressing.
