Sweet & Savory Chicken Salad Sandwiches
"I usually double this recipe and it makes six large sandwiches and about 8 regular size. I created this recipe by changing a similar chicken salad recipe I have, and it's a big hit with my husband and kids alike. Also, I personlly don't like onion or celery by themselves, but I wouldn't leave them out of this recipe. Together, the flavors are all on point."
