My Favorite Chicken Salad Sandwich Recipe

There are two important ingredients to make an amazing Chicken Salad Sandwich…
the mayo and the bread!
This is my go-to recipe that I’ve been making myself over the years. It’s simple but yummy.
Thought I would share because some of you might be picky chicken salad eaters like me! ;)
This has been on the weekly meal plan the past two weeks.
I make it one day and have it ready for later in the week for lunches.

On to the chicken salad goodness!
  
I have the full recipe below for easy pinning and printing.
But a couple key things that I love about this recipe…..
I LOVE how quickly it can come together.
You can either bake or boil up some chicken the day before and pull it out to chop up.
Or you can buy a bag of grilled chicken ready to go. I grabbed Tyson’s brand the other day
because I wanted to eat it right after our grocery trip for lunch.
I was a little late in the full grocery trip for this week’s meal plan.
Was grabbing the last things I needed for the rest of the week during that trip.

The Mayo you use is super important. I swear by Hellmanns. don’t do the fat free. just don’t.
I’ve tried it and it’s not good. But the original….delicious.
I was a little heavy handed with the mayo in this shot. I was wearing and bouncing
a baby and keeping Micah from picking out the grapes..sooo…yeah.
When I add a tad more mayo then I wanted, I usually just load up my sandwich with lots of lettuce.
It helps tone down the flavor. Plus I love the crunch of it!
I love the grapes and sweet onion in my chicken salad.
Sometimes the red onion overpowers the salad…that’s why I like a sweet onion.
Sometimes I add fresh Dill to my Chicken Salad. But this day I had
a great herbed bread and didn’t want to go crazy. 

The bread is super important for a FANTASTIC chicken salad sandwich.
I went to the my grocery store’s bakery section (Harris Teeter) and found an olive oil rosemary bread… AMAZING.
I mean…It was so good it made the phone call conversation with multiple people that day. haha.
Maybe your grocery will have something similar. grab it up. 
 

My cute lunch date. Micah Man.
He likes to sit on our kitchen stools and taste test with me.
He was all about making sure we had the best grapes. eating most of the ones I washed for the recipe…
 

Sometimes with meal planning, lunch can be tricky for me!
But this is a recipe that I love and think you will too.
It’s also really yummy on crackers and with slices of cucumbers.
