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.

Tips and Substitutions

If you don't have leftover chicken, buy pre-cooked chicken from the store. Or, do like I do and make a rotisserie chicken at home.
Substitute greek yogurt for the mayonnaise to lighten the salad up.
Use toasted pecans or walnuts in place of the almonds.
Use green grapes or purple grapes, but make sure they are seedless.
Substitute dried cranberries or cherries for the grapes.
