Not a summer goes by and I don’t make this salad at least once. I love it! Usually, I am not overly keen on creamy salads but I do love this chicken salad. I think I have been making variations of it for years and years now and each time it seems to change. I have a recipe for a Roasted Chicken Salad that’s served with salad leave cups and it’s fantastic! This time, I took a few extra minutes to make sure to write it all down to share.

Notes About The Easy Chicken Salad Sandwiches

I call these Easy Chicken sandwiches because I used a bought deli chicken.  It doesn’t get a whole lot easier than buying a store bought chicken to make a great recipe. But yes you can make your own chicken. Here’s how.

  • If you like, you could just roast two chicken breasts and do it that way.  Just season the chicken with salt, pepper and drizzle over a little olive oil. Bake in the oven for about 35 minutes or until cooked through. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
  • You could also use my recipe for my Oven Roasted Rotisserie Style Chicken, it’s amazing!

how To Serve These Sandwiches

I think these sandwiches make for great picnic food.  If you are taking them on a picnic, don’t put them together until you are about to serve them, otherwise the bread will go soggy and the salad will wilt.  Not great.  Also, make sure to keep the chicken in a chilled cool bag.  I know I am stating the obvious, but just in case!

Okay friends, that just about sums up this quick and easy summer recipe. If you try them out, let me know I’d love to hear from you. And enjoy a Margarita or a Mojito on the side, why not! Happy cooking and I’ll see you all soon.
