Chicken Salad Sandwiches:

I was in the mood for something cold earlier this week since it was so hot outside and decided to make these. They turned out really good. I can't give you exact measurements though because I eyeballed it.

I bought a rotisserie store bought chicken or you can cook chicken in the crockpot or oven, etc. I shredded the meat in my food processor using the S blade. Put the chicken in a large bowl and added sliced celery-sliced in chunks, fresh lemon juice, chopped onion, sliced green olives, Cheddar cheese cut in chunks and Miracle Whip. I debated whether to put cut up green pepper in..but..didn't. I may next time if I have some on hand..if not..no big deal.

I use a rotisserie chicken as well - much quicker.

1 Chicken diced or shredded
1/4 c diced onion or green onion
1/4 c diced celery
1/4 c nuts (walnuts or pecan pieces)
juice from one lemon
salt & pepper to taste
enough mayo to moisten
Watercress

Mix all together except the watercress. Add watercress to sandwich instead of lettuce.

I like to serve this in pita halves. It is especially nice served in the tiny pitas for finger foods at a party.

Well, damn. Now I'M hungry for Chicken Salad Sandwiches!!! Think I will have to try a combo of the two recipes posted here.. I love green olives. I love celery chunks. I am intrigued with the idea of cheddar cheese in there too.... Gotta have onions. I might add a smidge of Tarragon too... And maybe a tiny bit of dry mustard powder. A few slivered almonds......
