Dinner #10 - Chicken Salad Sandwiches!

One of my favorite meals my wife makes is chicken salad sandwiches. I decided to duplicate her recipe for a nice Sunday night dinner, and there were plenty of leftovers for Monday's lunch as well!

It starts with putting some shelled pecans in the oven with a little garlic powder, onion powder, and a few pads of butter. Once they're nice and toasted, they get a little sprinkle of cayenne pepper. I had picked up a whole roasted chicken from Sam's and pulled all the meat, dark and white, off the bones. Once removed, I shredded the chicken and put it into a good sized mixing bowl. I added in the roasted pecans, craisins, and miracle whip - all amounts just eye-balled until it looked like a nice mix of the ingredients. These were stirred and served on "bolillo rolls" from Sam's bakery with a slice of cheese and some chips.
