- Spoon the chicken salad onto 4 to 6 slices of bread, top with lettuce and remaining slices of bread.
Notes
- For extra texture, toast the bread prior to assembling the sandwich.

- The stem of fresh rosemary is very woody and fibrous. Remove the leaves from the stem, chop the leaves, and discard the stem.

Nice! I don’t usually go the herb route with chicken salad – more the spice route, like with curry powder ingredients. But I love this recipe.
Thanks, it is a nice change from traditional chicken salad.
that rosemary in the salad just takes it to a new level for me. I love using dill but never tried rosemary! What a great idea
Thanks Jessica, dill is quite good in a chicken salad too. If you try the rosemary I hope you let me know what you think
What a tasty sandwich!
Thanks Joanne
Rosemary and chicken go so well together. Love this sandwich
Thanks Kathy, I agree I really like rosemary with chicken and the faint hint of garlic is such a good match.
Love the fresh herbs in here – you can never have too many chicken salad recipes, in my opinion, and that bread looks delicious!
Thanks Donalyn, I do actually have a few chicken salad recipes and really love them all.
