Chicken Salad Sandwich

[heart_this] · Mar 8, 2008 · 27 Comments

Chicken Salad Sandwich

While I was looking for ways to use up my leftover roasted chicken I came across the concept of a chicken salad sandwich. At its base, a chicken salad seems to be shredded cooked chicken mixed with mayonnaise. A lot of recipes also included celery and green onions. I decided to go with a basic sandwich for the first time. The chicken salad sandwich was easy to make and really good! Now that I have had the basic sandwich I am thinking of all sort of possibilities. I could add curry, chutney, herbs, nuts, raisins, cranberries, etc. You could also do a turkey salad sandwich. The possibilities seem to be near endless. I can’t wait to roast another chicken so that I can use the leftovers to make more chicken salad sandwiches.

    I love chicken salad with cashews in it. Also grapes – it may sound weird, but it tastes great!

    Good to see you gave it a try! Now, you’ll be wanting to make them every time you have leftover roasted chicken! 🙂 I hope to give some other flavor combinations a try next time I make chicken salad… gotta keep it interesting.

    looks fabulous! I’ve been on the lookout for a good chicken salad sandwich! So many others are all-mayo and no flavor. Thanks for your recommendations!

    Anonymous You can leave out the green onions and lemon. You could replace the green onions with red if you like.
