Notes

For a healthier option, use whole wheat buns and grilled chicken breast.
Turn leftovers into honey mustard chicken salad for a lighter meal.
To make sheet pan style: roast chicken and vegetables together at 400°F for 20–25 minutes before assembling.
Store leftover chicken separately in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
