Ingredients

4 split (2 whole) chicken breasts, bone-in, skin on
Good olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup good mayonnaise, plus more for the bread
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1 cup small-diced celery (2 stalks)
8 to 10 slices health or seven-grain bread
1 package mesclun salad mix

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Place the chicken breasts, skin side up, on a sheet pan and rub them with olive oil. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Set aside to cool.

When the chicken is cool, remove and discard the skin and bones and cut the chicken into 3/4-inch dice. Place the chicken in a bowl and add the mayonnaise, tarragon, celery, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and toss well.

To assemble, spread a little mayonnaise on half the bread slices, top with the chicken salad and mesclun mix, and cover with the remaining slices of bread. Cut in half and serve.

Solid Chicken Salad Recipe - If You Don't Like As Much Salt or Mayo Use Less
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a great chicken salad recipe. I use less mayo and salt because I know I don't like a lot of either for health... reasons. Like any recipe you have - DUH - to adjust for your own preferences, sensitivities or health requirements.Read more

Great Chicken Salad
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Great chicken salad. Roasting chicken definitely makes a difference. Tarragon is the secret to the salad. Only change I... made was adding toasted almond slivers. With respect to too much salt, I always use salt and pepper to taste and never follow the recipes as to amounts. It should always be to your individual taste.Read more

The magic factor was factored in!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Thanks to Ida I simply had to do the comparison at home. In a side by side taste testing the sandwich with the terragon won... hands down! Read more

Chicken Salad Sandwiches
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Just watched Ina's prep of chicken salad sandwiches with the pop of tarragon. Had a half roasted chicken left over from... dinner two nights ago and bingo! Decided to use remainder for the salad. Tarragon made a big difference. I also added onion. Husband most impressed. Read more

Ida Garner does it again!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My family doesn't really like chicken, so I substituted gummy bears. Gummy = Yummy! DEFINATELY a hit, an so so delish. If... you don't like mayo or tarragon, you can substitute hand lotion and grass clippings. What good is a review if you don't follow the recipe?Read more

MMMMM!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Agree that it was way too much salt, but otherwise it was great! Also, I couldn't find the mesclun salad mix though, but no... biggie. I put a twist on it by reducing the mayo to 1/2 cu and adding 4 oz of cream cheese. Today, I think I'm going to have it on a croissant. Can't wait!Read more
