Waldorf Chicken Salad Sandwich

I cook chicken a lot.  Sometimes roasted, sometimes grilled, sometimes pan-seared.  Sometimes I have no time to cook at all and I buy a rotisserie chicken for dinner.  Either way, I always seem to have leftover chicken in the fridge.  Which as anyone cooking for kids knows, is a huge bonus.  I often toss it into pastas, grilled cheese, or soup.  But lately, I’ve been making this “Waldorf” apple-chicken salad on raisin toast and Audrey just loves it.  Sweet, fruity, healthy and so easy to make, this sandwich is definitely a reason to celebrate leftovers.

This recipe is:

1. 5 ingredients (excluding salt)

2. Easy to make

3. Loaded with protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals

4. A great way to use leftovers

5. A fun toddler and kid lunch idea

6. Delicious for adults with some spicy arugula added
