Roasted Chicken, Zucchini & Ricotta Sandwiches on Focaccia image

Another delicious recipe courtesy of Epicurious. I have made this recipe once and it was a pleaser. Little preperation and cooking. The purchased roasted chicken really eliminates the hassle of baking a chicken yourself. You can usually find roasted chicken in the deli of your grocery store. Menu Suggestion: Marshmallow Fruit Salad & Potato Chips.
