INA'S CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES
This is the Barefoot Contessa's favorite chicken salad sandwich. I absolutely love all of her recipes and this was no exception. She roasts her chickens rather than poaching them to insure that the chicken stays moist. I have tried it both ways and I think I have to agree with Ina, I like the roasting method best. However, use whatever method you prefer.

- Shred the chicken finely: This will help it mix well with the other ingredients and make for a more even distribution of flavor.
- Use a good-quality mayonnaise: Mayonnaise is the key to a creamy, flavorful chicken salad. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil.
- Season the chicken salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of Dijon mustard for extra flavor.
- Chill the chicken salad before serving: This will help it firm up and make it easier to spread on the bread.
- Serve the chicken salad on your favorite bread: Chicken salad sandwiches can be served on a variety of breads, such as white bread, wheat bread, or croissants. You can also use lettuce wraps or pita bread for a healthier option.
