Chicken Salad Sandwich

Ingredients

  • 4 split (2 whole) chicken breasts, bone-in, skin on
  • Good olive oil
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup good mayonnaise, plus more for the bread
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
  • 1 cup small-diced celery (2 stalks)
  • 8 to 10 slices health or seven-grain bread
  • 1 package green salad mix or lettuce leaves

Directions

Baking chicken is a little bit a messy business, but it is totally worth it. Your salad meat will be moist and delicious! So, roll your sleeves and get ready for a little work.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Place the chicken breasts, skin side up, on a sheet pan and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Set aside to cool.
When the chicken is cool, remove and discard the skin and bones and cut the chicken into 3/4-inch dice. Place the chicken in a bowl and add the mayonnaise, tarragon, celery, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and toss well.
To assemble, spread a little mayonnaise on half the bread slices, top with the chicken salad and green mix or lettuce leaves of your choice, and cover with the remaining slices of bread. Cut in half and serve.

Believe me, it is sooooo good that your guests will be asking for recipe! :)
