During the warm summer months, I crave sandwiches like this cool apricot tarragon chicken salad sandwich. Combine a creamy chicken salad with hearty, whole grain bread and you have the ultimate lunch or light dinner ready to go.
I love using a whole grain bread for sandwiches and French toast because it helps provide a little extra nutrition. Plus, if you choose one with seeds, you get added texture too.
I usually keep a container of this apricot chicken salad in the refrigerator so I can enjoy a yummy sandwich anytime I want. It is the perfect way to use up extra, cooked chicken breast. Plus, it only needs a few pantry staples to make so you can easily enjoy it anytime.
