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.

CRAIG CLAIBORNE'S CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICH
Originally printed in 1981, here is Craig Claiborne's take on the classic chicken salad sandwich. In his version, a combination of mayonnaise (preferably homemade) and yogurt is used which yields a lighter, tangier sandwich filling. He calls for using poached chicken, but the leftover roast chicken from last night would work beautifully as well.

- from aunt elsa's kitchen
- Aunt Elsa would make these ahead of time for a party and refrigerate them for a few hours or freeze them for up to a week and remove them from the freezer the morning of the event. Her secret was to spread a thin coat of butter on the bread, which prevents the sandwiches from getting soggy without changing any flavor.
- To make ahead, spread a light coat of butter on one side of each slice of bread. After slicing as directed above, cover the sandwiches with wax paper, and then cover with a damp towel. Refrigerate until needed.
- For longer storage, cover the platter of sandwiches with plastic wrap and freeze. Uncover the sandwiches and let stand at room temperature for a few hours before serving.
TOASTED CHICKEN SALAD SANDWICHES
I love chicken salad sandwiches. For this recipe, I use a rotisserie chicken from the supermarket. The chicken is tossed with avocado oil mayonnaise, capers and dill relish, then layered on crusty bread with sliced radishes and butter lettuce. You can vary the flavor by adding herbs or some finely diced roasted red peppers. -David Ross, Spokane Valley, Washington

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients: Use free-range, organic chicken for the best flavor. Select fresh, ripe vegetables and herbs.
- Roast the chicken perfectly: Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This will ensure that the meat is cooked through while remaining tender and juicy.
- Let the chicken cool completely: This will help the chicken to retain its moisture and flavor. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces once it has cooled.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Celery, red onion, carrots, and grapes are all great additions to chicken salad. Feel free to add other vegetables that you enjoy, such as cucumber, bell peppers, or avocado.
- Add some herbs and spices: Fresh dill, thyme, rosemary, or parsley will brighten up the flavor of the chicken salad. A pinch of salt and pepper will also help to enhance the flavors.
- Use a mayonnaise-based dressing: Mayonnaise is the traditional dressing for chicken salad, but you can also use Greek yogurt or sour cream. Add a little bit of Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and honey to taste.
- Chill the chicken salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and will make the salad more refreshing.
- Serve the chicken salad on a variety of breads: Chicken salad sandwiches are a classic, but you can also serve it on croissants, bagels, or crackers.
Conclusion:
Roast chicken salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or a snack. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
