Chicken Tarragon Salad Whole Grain Sandwiches

Chicken Tarragon Salad Whole Grain Sandwiches

I

 just entertained a group of girlfriends for a luncheon and made these sandwiches.  They were yummy. Also, on the menu was a marvelous spinach salad and dessert to die for!  I will post those next time.  I was lucky to find wonderful whole grain croissants, but feel free to use any whole grain bread.

4 cups of chicken diced (bone in and roasted)

3 stalks celery chopped

1 tart green apple diced

 ¼ cup parsley chopped

¼ cup Basil chopped

½ red onion minced

1 lemon juiced

Good squeeze of hot sauce

1 cup mayo

Salt/pepper to taste

1 ½ teaspoon fresh tarragon

6 large leaves of butter lettuce

6 whole grain croissants or bread of choice

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Place the chicken breasts, skin side up in a roasting pan and sprinkle them with olive oil, salt and pepper.

Roast the chicken for 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Set aside to cool.   Then remove the skin and bones and cut chicken into small cubes. Place chicken in bowl.  Mix the remaining ingredients and then add the chicken. Toss well.

Open rolls of pieces of bread of choice. Lay a piece of lettuce down and place a big ball of salad on top. Top with remaining bread.

TIPS:

·        Add more or less of the mayo as you like

·        Leftover salad is good stuffed in a large hollowed tomato

·        Leftover salad can be rolled in a tortilla, flat bread or lettuce to make a wrap
