My First Chicken Salad Sandwich With Grapes
Whenever I have leftover rotisserie chicken, I also know that there will be chicken salad sandwiches made with leftovers. The first time I had a this recipe with grapes in it was at a popular lunch spot in Potsdam, NY. It was served to me on a golden crusty croissant roll and with the combination of sweet and savory it became my favorite sandwich.
I think of that sandwich often and since I moved away from that area, I miss not being able to go to that little classy lunch spot to enjoy it.
