[at-l] Chicken Sandwich

[Sara Wilson]

The sandwich should be followed by a popover, of course. We once hiked around Eagle Lake and over the Bubbles to Jordan Pond House. A nice trip with a great ending. Acadia is one of our favorite spots in the world also.

LOL

>> At any rate this gave me a wonderful idea for a hiking sandwich!  There are many different kinds of bread you can use such as croissant, flat bread, tortilla, pita pocket bread...  I  prefer croissant or pita bread.  I also like grilled chicken plain but diced well.  I package the chicken, chopped celery, chopped onion, craisins, and walnuts together in a sandwich baggie.  On hot days I will even freeze it overnight because it will be just thawed but still chilled at lunch time.  When you stop for break simply add a couple packs of mayonnaise into the sandwich baggie, close, and squish all around to mix well.  Then just open the baggie and squish out onto your bread of choice.  If you like you can add a couple slices of well washed lettuce to your nalgene with ice on hot days to keep it crisp until you add it to your sandwich.

>> There are so many variations you can do with this.  You can use a sesame ginger sauce instead of mayo and add a pinch of slaw mix of cabbage and carrots with a little cilantro and sunflower seeds.  Or you can use a peach dressing with cranberries and almonds.  And, the list goes on and on.  :))
