Chicken Salad Sandwich

Recipe Description

Sandwiches, I’d eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I could, and this Chicken Salad Sandwich is one of the best. We all know you can’t mess with the classics and this is one of those classic sandwich fillings. I add a little freshly chopped dill at the end to bring an extra little something.

For this sandwich filling, I start by boiling skinless chicken breasts in water with lemon slices and dill. Then I combine the cooked chicken with crunchy celery, sweet apple and red onion. I like to serve this filling on fresh crusty baguette with lettuce and garnished with some finely chopped dill for that extra burst of fresh flavor!

To make Chicken Salad Sandwich, you will need the following ingredients:
