The other night we were having a hard time deciding what to have for dinner, and Tim (husband) came up with chicken salad sandwiches. They were amazing, and I'd forgotten just how much I love chicken salad. I made it again for lunch today, and thought maybe someone reading this would like the recipe. Chicken salad is super easy to make, and a great make-ahead time saver.
Chicken Salad Sandwich Recipe
This will make about 6 sandwiches.
What you will need:
- 2 chicken breasts (boneless/skinless) cubed
- 1/2 a small red onion, chopped
- 1 celery stalk, chopped
- 1 tomato (I used roma), cubed
- about 1/4 of an english cucumber (the long skinny ones), cubed
- About 4 tbsp of mayonnaise (or to consistency and taste)
- 6 Buns (I used a bagel, but french bread, or whatever your favourite bun is works!)
- Boil the chicken breasts whole in water for about 10 minutes (or until fully cooked)
- Let chicken cool to room temperature, then cube in to 1/2 inch pieces or smaller.
- Mix chicken, onion, celery, tomato and cucumber with the mayonnaise. It's best if you do this to taste or consistency, so start with 2 tbsp and see if that's enough for you, or if you'd like it to be more saucy.
- Put the mixture in a bun, use a dash of salt and pepper, enjoy!
