Ingredients
- 12.5 oz chunk chicken drained, pieces broken apart with a fork
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup pecans chopped
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup green olives chopped
- 8 slices white bread or wheat
- 1 cup iceberg lettuce or spinach
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, mayonnaise, pecans, raisins, cranberries and green olives. Mix well.
- Divide the mixture four ways and place each serving on a slice of bread. Top with lettuce and another slice of bread.
Notes
- Use meat from a Rotisserie chicken instead of from a can or shred cooked chicken breasts.
- Substitute the pecans for walnuts, pine nuts or sesame seeds! Or omit entirely if you're not a nut kinda guy or gal.
- Use a light mayo for a less dense sandwich, or replace mayo with plain Greek yogurt.
- Substitute the green olives for black olives or even chopped pickles! Capers would taste amazing, too.
- Chicken can easily be replace with canned salmon or tuna.
- Any dried fruit will work great in this sandwich.
- 1/4 cup chopped celery can be added, if desired.
- Add a few squirts of lemon juice for extra freshness.
- If you're feeling indulgent, pour some Ranch salad dressing over the top before placing the top piece of bread in place.
