Would it be an exaggeration to say that this sandwich combines three of our great loves? Possibly, but we're going to say it anyways: This breakfast contains a golden trifecta between English muffin halves—bánh mì components, an egg sandwich, and, of course, chicken. Chicken for breakfast?? you say. Trust us on this one: Not only does the addition of chicken complement the egg and do chua, but it keeps you full through lunch. Now that's a winner winner chicken breakfast.
