2014 Kids Recipe Challenge winning recipe: 2nd Place!
In Sharanya from Markham’s own words: “Do you want to try something new, soft and crunchy? Then you want to try this chicken salad sandwich! It is a cold sandwich that can be made during any time of the day or night and is really healthy. It’s so simple to make. You are going to love it.”
This is a great way to use up leftover chicken from last night’s dinner. For variety, try this sandwich with different flavours of hummus. You can also use cream cheese instead of the hummus.
