No Brainer Easy Delicous 5 Minute Dinner: Chicken Salad Sandwiches 3 Ways
Easy Dinner: Chicken Salad Sandwiches
So tonight for dinner it is all about 5 minute prep time and quick and easy yet super delicious Chicken Salad Sandwiches.
If I have left over chicken I will use it, or I will get my favorite rotisserie chicken from my local grocery.
Add a few great ingredients slap in between whatever bread I have in the house, or if I am watching my carbs, add it to a hollowed out halved avocado and YUM YUM YUM! Quick & Super Easy!
My recipe is basic chicken salad one – But I love to have some fun with it. My all-time favorite thing to do when making chicken salad, believe it or not, is to add fruit like apples and blueberries to it. The tangy sweet fruit give an extra punch to the mild chicken flavor. Add a few dashes of curry powder and other interesting robust flavors – and now you have just rocked that chicken salad up!
Here are 3 of My Favorite Ways to Make Chicken Salad -You and your family are going to love them!
Happy End of Summer Vacation Days!

Chicken Salad Salsa
This recipe is Mexican flavored inspired and I love the idea of serving it in a halved avocado. I serve this chicken salad a lot on Shabbos day and will always add some great pita chips or tortilla chips for that extra delicious crunch factor.
3 Avocados, halved
1 rotisserie chicken, shredded
2 scallions, diced
1 cup of sliced fresh blueberries
1 cup sweet canned corn niblets
1 red pepper, diced
2/3 cups mayo
1 tbsp. white vinegar
1 package splenda or 1 1/2 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. ginger
½ tsp. ground mustard
1 tsp. dried cilantro
1 tsp. dried parsley
Pinch of smoked paprika – or for heat pinch of cayenne pepper
Other than the halved Avocados, mix everything together in a large bowl. Scoop heaping dollops of chicken salad into the avocado pit hole. You can hollow the avocados out slightly to have more room for your chicken salad. Serve with favorite brand of pita or corn tortilla chips
