When you think of chicken sandwiches you often think of bread, but throw away the traditional ideas and grab a Tarna -- a wrap with a savory aromatic flavor that's slowly roasted into each and every chicken. Wrapped in pita bread is a fresh assortment of vegetables, tomatoes, and garlic sauce. Feel free to order a chicken or two for home and buy some extra garlic sauce to make your own wonderful chicken sandwiches the next day.
