After all, I’ve been eating them my whole life. Yeah, I know – you too. But I suppose what sets me apart from the average PB&J-types is the fact that I’ll turn pretty much anything into a sandwich.
Chicken fingers, beef stir fry, sausages and peppers… give me two slices of Dempsters bakery fresh bread and allow me to work my magic. In fact, I’ve even concocted a Mashed Potato sandwich (layer warm mash potatoes with corned beef and beef au jus), Greek Salad sandwiches (remove the olives and layer with Natural Selections Oven Roasted Chicken and tzatziki sauce) and my personal fave, the Curried Chicken sandwich (shred leftover Thai yellow curried chicken and toss with chopped apple, celery and mayonnaise). Got leftovers? Then you’ve got your inspiration – just Sandwich It!
Today I’d love to share one of my favourite ways to get out of the lunchtime rut – a General Tao Chicken Sandwich. Super easy and super yummy!
What You’ll Need (Serves 2):
About 6-8 leftover chicken fingers
1/4 cup of your favourite General Tao stir-fry sauce
4 slices of flightly toasted Dempsters bread (choose your fave!)
Some crispy greens for colour (and health, obvi)
Just Sandwich It:
Toss the chicken fingers with the General Tao stir-fry sauce and warm through. (If you’re on the go, you can heat them in a microwave-safe dish). Use excess sauce as a spread for sandwich halves. Assemble the sandwich. Enjoy!
The crispyness of the chicken fingers perfectly sets off the sticky-sweet sauce. I chose good ol’ Dempsters White, because dammit, I love white bread. Betcha you’ll never look at boring chicken fingers the same way again!

Sounds yummy! I love the new Dempsters Farmhouse bread
I have yet to try it, but I heard it’s to die for :)
I’m hungry already – looks delish! – Dempsters 100% whole wheat bread is my fave too.
I love Dempsters Whole Wheat bread too! Currently have two loaves in the freezer ;)
Ive really been cutting down on my sliced bread lately but cant stay away from tortillas yet! These ideas would be get in a Dempsters wrap too.
Yes, they absolutely would! Mmmm…. General Tao Chicken Wrap!
Mmmmmmmm! This looks so delish! I’ve never tried stir-fry sauce in a sandwich – thanks for sharing!
You absolutely should! Even good ol’ sweet and sour sauce with chicken nuggets is divine as a sandwich :)
oooh I love me some general tao, never thought to sandwich it!
Heck ya! Sandwich it girl!
You made me hungry! I love sandwiches an I could live on them alone, but I have to cook meals for the family. But when I’m by myself, it’s a sandwich! You gave me some cool sandwich ideas that I must try :)
So glad you’ve got the inspiration – and I adore sandwiches too!
Chicken fingers – on a SANDWICH?! You are a genius! I bet a sandwich with chicken fingers tossed in buffalo sauce would be sooo good! (I love them in wraps – so why not on bread?)
YES and YES! Hahaha. I sandwich everything, so nothing is a stretch. And a buffalo chicken sandwich would taste soooo good!
Love sandwhiches. Looks delish!
Thanks Natasha! Try it!
I actually hear my tummy ‘growl’ as I read this post!!
Hahaha well the good thing is, it only takes a few ingredients to have a delish sandwich!
Easy and delish
This looks yummy
It’s easy and yummy, Mag and Pamela!
I agree — pretty much anything can be turned into a wrap or sandwich with a little imagination!
It’s true! I honestly have sandwiched mashed potatoes.
Sandwiches are easily the best invention!
I 100% agree! The most portable way to have a delicious meal!
I am now officially starving! This would be a hit in our house!
I think it will be – please try it Sabrina!
I love making sandwiches for supper – it’s so easy. The only qualm I have (with myself or my mouth) is that whenever I eat anything toasted it scratches the be-jebus out of the roof of my mouth! :( lol Such a sad day.
LOL well you’ll just have to set your toaster to a lighter setting :)
