Note
For the sauce, you can substitute mayonnaise for sour cream if you prefer a tangier flavor. Fresh dill can be used instead of dried for a more vibrant taste; use 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh dill for every 1 teaspoon of dried.
To ensure the chicken cooks evenly and stays juicy, pounding it to an even thickness is crucial. If you don't have a meat mallet, a heavy skillet or rolling pin works well.
Serve immediately for the best texture, as the toasted rolls can become soggy if the sandwich sits for too long.
