Steps:
- Cut poached chicken breast into 1-inch chunks. Place in a medium bowl, and add lemon juice. Toss to combine.
- Add mayonnaise, tarragon, and salt and pepper to chicken mixture. Stir to combine.
- Cut bread lengthwise into 1/2-inch slices.
- Place a scoop of chicken mixture between two pieces of bread. Press firmly on sandwich to flatten. Slice sandwich in half or in quarters. Serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh tarragon. Fresh tarragon has a more intense flavor than dried tarragon, so it's worth seeking out if you can find it. If you can't find fresh tarragon, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried tarragon instead.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken is dry and tough, so be careful not to cook it for too long. The chicken should be cooked through, but still moist and tender.
- Use a good quality mayonnaise. The mayonnaise is one of the main ingredients in chicken salad, so it's important to use a good quality mayonnaise. Look for a mayonnaise that is made with real eggs and oil, and avoid brands that contain a lot of fillers or additives.
- Add some crunch. Adding some crunch to your chicken salad will help to give it more texture and flavor. You can add chopped celery, almonds, or walnuts.
- Season to taste. Season your chicken salad to taste with salt and pepper. You may also want to add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder.
Conclusion:
Tarragon chicken salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a delicious and satisfying chicken salad that everyone will enjoy.
