The other night Mr. Lucky and I decided to have “Bistro Night” for dinner. I made chicken salad for sandwiches, and he made French Onion Soup! He found the recipe for the soup on Martha Stewart, and it was excellent. The only thing we would change is to cut back on the amount of Thyme called for (by at least half).
Chicken Salad Sandwich and French Onion Soup
I am sharing my own recipe for chicken salad, that I developed after enjoying the sandwiches as Starbucks. Not wanting to spend $8 on a little sandwich, I knew it would be easy to come up with something similar that I could recreate whenever I wanted.
Chicken Salad all stirred up
As with most recipes- you can change any amounts to suit your taste. Usually I don’t measure anything and just go with what I think looks good.
