Chicken Egg Salad

CarrolJ's Note:

I love both Chicken Salad and Egg Salad sandwiches. Today I felt inspired to create a recipe which really highlighted both ingredients. This recipe doesn't have any fruit in it because I prefer no fruit in my sandwiches. For those of you who are watching your carbs this would be very good stuffed in a large tomato or on top of a green salad too. Chilling enhances flavor, but if you are hungry enough eating it immediately after preparing it tastes pretty wonderful too. Cooking time is chilling time.

This was really a great sandwich. I too love chicken salad and egg salad sandwiches. This is a great recipe combining the two. I had grilled my chicken yesterday so just cut it up this morning. I used green onions and no green pepper. I also cut this recipe down for 2 people. I found it tasted much better when it sat in the fridge for a bit. Really a great fast lunch to put together. Very yummy on a Kaiser roll with some lettuce. Thanks for sharing your recfipe Carrol

Yummy! This made a great lunch on a wheat roll. I doubled the onion and green pepper. I didn't even need quite 2 cups of dressing. Thanx for a great salad recipe; I'll make this again.

This was really great! Easy to prepare and tasted yummy!! My 2 favs are chicken salad and egg salad, so this worked out great!! I didn't add the onions or green peppers to mine, but hubby added green onions to his and said it gave it a great flavor! Super recipe Carrol...it is a new favorite and will be made again! Thanks!
