What's Cookin' - Chicken Salad Sandwiches

I got a great deal on a dozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts at the grocery store last week. Made Parmesan Chicken with 8 of them, then Hubby barbequed the remaining 4 last night. We made grilled chicken sandwiches for dinner and had 2 left over today so I got to make one of my favorites ... Chicken Salad Sandwiches.



I chopped up two chicken breasts into small chunks, although you can use the large cans of chicken that are sold near the tuna fish at the store. Drained and chopped one 10.5 oz. can of mandarin oranges, threw in about 1/8th of a cup of sliced almonds, seasoned lightly with garlic salt and mixed all together with a few spoonfuls of mayonnaise. It's that simple and is so good. It always tastes really fresh. I think it's the mandarin oranges that give it the light, bright flavor and the crunch of the almonds is spectacular!





You can get four sandwiches out of the two chicken breasts. We pile them nice and thick on wheat bread.
