When you think of a fried chicken sandwich, greasy fast food or diner options might come to mind. However, this menu item from Centra puts a gourmet spin on the southern classic. Their Southern Fried Chicken Ciabatta is just one of their gourmet sandwiches. Great for lunch, it takes things to a higher level with brie cheese, roasted red peppers, mixed greens and sweet tomato relish.
The fried chicken sandwich is just one of ten gourmet lunch selections offered by Centra as a part of their Love Lunch line. Even though it's only available in the UK (for €4), this is perfect for professionals who prefer to purchase their mid-day meal. Convenience and quality are both present and particularly appealing.
