Cook This Now: Fully Loaded Chicken Salad Sandwich

My favorite sandwich and my most watched YouTube video to date!

Today around 12:30pm the sun came out and the temperature hit 61 degrees and I literally felt my whole being smile. I took little bear for a long walk and he was just as happy.

For good measure, this was us on a walk just last week so…

After our sunny walk I started craving a sandwich. Naturally. That’s when I remembered my Fully Loaded Chicken Salad Sandwich recipe.

You can watch me bring it together here (watch for the recipe, stay for the strong chicken salad commentary 😅).

Also when I went to go grab this video I saw it has nearly 5,000 views!

And here’s the recipe for anyone who’d like it written out.

Makes 4-5 sandwiches

Ingredients:

• Rotisserie chicken (or 3 cups shredded chicken)

• 1 cup mayonnaise (Duke’s!)

• Juice from half a lemon

• 1 tsp salt

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 2 Tbsp dijon mustard

• 1/4 cup dried cranberries

• 2 stalks celery, thinly sliced

• 4 scallions, sliced

For Serving:

• Bacon

• Avocado

• Slices of sharp cheddar cheese

• Fresh lettuce

• Croissants

Instructions:

1. Add all the ingredients to a bowl and mix to combine! You can make this a day ahead. Will last in the refrigerator for up to one week.

To assemble:

1. Lightly toast croissant (I like to cut the croissant in half and toast it in my toaster oven at 375 degrees for about 3 minutes).

2. Add 2-3 scoops of chicken salad to one side of the croissant.

3. Add lettuce, a slice of sharp cheddar cheese, bacon (I cook my bacon in the oven at 400 degrees for about 15-18 minutes), and smashed avocado. Enjoy!
