I love a quick meal, and if it’s healthy then it is surely an added bonus, like these chicken salad sandwiches. There are so many variations to a chicken salad, the various add ons like green apples, almonds, walnut, scallion greens, cranberries, celery, so forth and so on. You can also add some cayenne pepper for heat. This time I ran out of walnuts, so substituted it with cashew nuts, I must say it complemented the chicken salad sandwich quite well 🙂 If you have rotisserie chicken at hand, then it’s a child’s play to put it all together. I poached the chicken at home in an aromatic spice infused broth flavored with bay leaves and cloves. The resulting poached chicken was tender, juicy and very flavorful. I shredded them real fine, as that’s how I like it, especially if I’m using them as a spread for sandwiches. If it’s just a salad, I prefer to keep chunky pieces of meat.
So what makes this healthy? Greek yogurt, of course, the most healthy alternative to mayo that’s out there. I also used sprouted honey wheat with flaxseed bread instead of the white sandwich bread. So in short, everything in this chicken salad sandwich is good for you plus it tastes great! Enjoy a delicious, guilt-free meal 🙂 Here is interesting info from Wiki about the origin of chicken salad, The American form of chicken salad was first served by Town Meats in Wakefield, Rhode Island, in 1863. The original owner, Liam Gray, mixed his leftover chicken with mayonnaise, tarragon, and grapes. This became such a popular item that the meat market was converted to a delicatessen.
Let’s make some yummy sandwiches 🙂
