4 lettuce leaves


8 slices rye or pumpernickel bread


1 pound prepared chicken salad


4 slices Swiss cheese


8 slices tomato


1/3 cup honey mustard salad dressing


Directions:


In a large skillet, cook bacon over medium heat until crisp. Remove to paper towels to drain. Place lettuce on four slices of bread; layer each with chicken salad, two bacon strips, one cheese slice and two tomato slices. Spread salad dressing on one side of remaining bread; place over tomatoesDoes anyone have a recipe for chicken salad?

This is the best chicken salad recipe (from Ina Garten) and can be adapted to any type of chicken--just use what you have.





4 bone-in chicken breast halves, skin on


Good olive oil


Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper


3/4 cup good mayonnaise, plus more for the bread


1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves


1 cup small-diced celery (2 stalks)


8 to 10 slices multigrain bread


1 package mesclun salad mix





Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the chicken breasts, skin side up, on a sheet pan and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Set aside to cool.





When the chicken is cool, remove and discard the skin and bones and cut the chicken into 3/4-inch dice.





Place the chicken in a bowl and add the mayonnaise, tarragon, celery, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and toss well.





To assemble, spread a little mayonnaise on half the bread slices, top with the chicken salad and mesclun mix, and cover with the remaining slices of bread. Cut in half and serve.





**Sometimes adding 1/2 cup of halved, seedless grapes is a great idea! Also, if you don't have (or want to buy) fresh tarragon, a heaping teaspoon of dried tarragon works.

You can put whatever you want in it, and put amounts that suit your taste. Mayonnaise, pickle relish (sweet or dill, whichever you like), celery, boiled egg, and onion are the more common ingredients. You can also add cucumber or carrots. If you wanted extra nutrients, you could finely chop some zucchini, spinach or broccoli (or something like that) to add to your mixture without really altering the taste.
Dice the chicken, not to small chunks though. dice celery, red onion, roasted walnuts and a few dried cranberries(optional), mix well. Add mayo, about 1/8 - 1/4 tsp thyme (very strong herb so less is best, then give a taste). Chill for at least 30 minutes then serve on a nice whole wheat bread or sourdough with lettuce, sliced tomato and bean sprouts (optional). The crunch from the walnuts and sweetness from the cranberries blends well with the celery and red onion. Enjoy.
Dice up the chicken, add Miracle Whip or mayo, diced boiled eggs, pickle relish, and sliced celery or green onions as you wish.


Get some sturdy pasta, cook and chill it , and add the above ingredients, may add some fozen uncooked green peas or some carrots for color.
