Step 1: Prepare the Roll

1. Slice the pointy roll in half and pull out a little bit of the inside to make room for the filling.

2. Add crumbled Greek feta cheese, lemon juice, and extra virgin olive oil.
3. Mix everything together evenly.

Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich

1. Pack the chopped chicken and vegetable mixture into the prepared roll.
2. Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for extra flavor.
3. Optionally, add a dollop of mayo for creaminess.
4. Press the sandwich together gently.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

1. Serve the chopped Greek chicken sandwich immediately for the best taste.
2. Pair the sandwich with your favorite side, such as potato chips.
3. Enjoy the flavors of the Greek-inspired sandwich with every bite.

Additional Tips:

• You can customize the ingredients based on your preferences.
