Beach girl, these were so good, and so easy! My family enjoyed them so much. I made a double batch and they disappeared! I did throw in some green onion, just because I add green onions to everything! The olives were a unique addition. I like the crunchiness of the bread around the creamy filling. Thanks for a great recipe!

These sandwiches were a nice way to use up leftover roasted chicken. I omitted the celery and used salad dressing instead of the mayo (just what we prefer)and put it in buns instead of sandwich bread. It's a very tasty sandwich. Because I now know that my husband doesn't like his bread that crunchy, I'll wrap the sandwiches up in foil and then unwrap mine for some crunch. It could be different if using the sliced bread instead of buns -so I might have to try it that way too so I really know. Thanks for sharing.
