Chicken Salad Sandwiches

Credit: Lori Frost

Ingredients:
  • 3 cans of cooked chicken breasts {like you find tuna in, except bigger!}
  • 2 c seedless grapes, sliced
  • 1 c mayonnaise
  • 1 t salt
  • 4 T sugar
  • 1 1/2 t curry powder
  • 1 c roasted almonds, sliced {or cashews... nuts are optional}
  • Bread or croissants
Directions:
  1. Open and drain the canned chicken. Empty into a large bowl and finely shred with a fork. This is an important step!
  2. Add the sliced grapes to the chicken and mix around. Make sure this balance of chicken and grapes is enough for you... we like lots of grapes in ours.
  3. In a smaller bowl, combine the mayonnaise, salt, sugar, and curry powder. Mix well and pour over the chicken mixture. Mix until well coated.
  4. Place in the refrigerator for 30+ minutes to allow all of the flavors to blend together. {If you can't let it chill before eating, it'll still be delicious, so don't worry.}
  5. When you're ready to eat, make each sandwich by taking the bread and generously spreading on chicken salad, then sprinkling the almond pieces on top, and placing the other piece of bread on top. :) Mmm...
*This is often served at wedding receptions, bridal and baby showers, etc. We love it ANYTIME, though.
