Pat Christofolo runs the kitchen at this restaurant, located only a few minutes from downtown Phoenix. She's particular about the way she puts this sandwich together: The mayo should touch both the chicken and greens, so each has its own bit of dressing.

2 skinless boneless chicken breast halves
Olive oil
