Fruity Chicken Salad Sandwich

As you will find out in future post, I am a very, very picky eater!  I don't like alot of foods.  I have always been interested in finding a recipe for chicken salad without eggs and pickle relish.  My search lead me to fruity chicken salad.  At first, I didn't think that I would like the texture of the fruit (see I told you I was picky).  So, I began to work on a recipe that included the seasonings and fruits that I liked.  After a few trials, I got it! 

FRUITY CHICKEN SALAD

1 apple diced

2 cups grapes

1 cup fresh pitted cherries

1 tsp lemon juice

1 tsp dill

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp onion powder

1/8 tsp garlic powder

1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

2 cups chicken (cooked and diced)

1/2 cup mayo

1/2 cup sour cream

Toasted pecans (optional)

Mix fruit and next 6 ingredients together.  Add chicken, mayo, and sour cream.  Mix well, then add toasted pecans.  Serve on croissants or on lettuce with crackers.

You can change out the fruit and use leftover chicken.  I used  a rotisserie chicken.  I also used low fat mayo and sour cream. 

Thanks and Enjoy,

Dana

Sandwiches

I made these for the teachers at VBS today and they flew off the platter!  They are very easy to make.  If you don't have time to make the rosemary skewers, that's ok.  You don't have to have them. 

Chicken Caesar Sandwich

Thaw you chicken and dice up.  Mix chicken, spinach, and 1/3 bottle dressing with some fresh cracked pepper.  Slice bread in half length wise and fill with chicken mixture.  Wrap in foil and store in refrigerator over night.  When ready to serve, slice and top with rosemary tomato skewers.  Place the rest of the dressing in a bowl on the side to use as a dipping sauce for sandwiches.
