Made this last night. Had some extra roasted chicken left over and wanted something quick and tasty to use it up. It was great. I didn't have any celery seeds, and can't eat raw onion so left that out, but otherwise followed recipe, putting half on one slice of bread and half on the other and eating them both open faced all by myself! The maple syrup and mustard made it so good! Thanks, Pamela!

This was good. Was looking for away to use up some leftover cooked chicken breast. This was different and interesting looking. I misread the recipe and added 1 tbsp of dijon mustard, not sure if that is why I found the maple flavor non-existent and ended up using more maple syrup. Will try this again... with the right quantities. Used whole grain dijon mustard, subbed onion powder for the onion, and celery salt for the celery seed. Omitted the parsley, but like the suggestion of using italian seasoning. Tried it on a slice of bread and also on a pita (sort of like a pizza!). Baked in toaster oven for 12 minutes @ 400. Sprinkled red pepper flakes on top for a little kick.

This totally hit the spot for my dinner tonight. I cut the mayo mixture in half but used 1/2 cup chicken. Used fat free mayo, sugar free syup & brown mustard. Instead of parsely I used italian seasoning & only used 2 tbsp low fat mozzarella cheese. I cut a piece of whole wheat bread in half, spread lightly with some fat free butter spread & garlic-toasted it & then broiled the whole sandwich (open faced) for 4 min & it was perfect!! Topped it with a little turkey bacon for a treat. So easy, so yummy & totally fit the bill for a cold winter's night. Thanks for sharing!

This was a great sandwich. There was a lot of dressing for such a small amount of chicken so I added more chicken. DH2B loved the bacon on his (I did not add bacon to mine). I was not sure how to cook it since, a temp was not listed, so I put it under the broiler for about 5 minutes. Thanks Chef and Good Luck.

This was very quick & easy to put together and very tasty! I used sliced whole wheat bread instead of a bun and put them in the toaster oven on toast until the cheese was melted. I think that the chicken mixture by itself would be great too. It has a nice sweet and spicy flavor that is very different then traditional chicken salads, but delicious. I'd suggest putting an oven temp in the recipe for those who are not kitchen-saavy. Thanks!
