Apple & Walnut Chicken Salad Sandwiches

I love lunches that are easy to throw together in 20 minutes or less. I also prefer meals that are full of flavor and interesting things, edging into gourmet and special. After all, life is a wonderful thing to celebrate, right?

My husband's office is right beside our house and that means that he can often come in and eat lunch with us. {I know, I'm so lucky!} This has forced me to stay creative with lunches, instead of just grabbing whatever I feel like to keep me going. I believe part of honoring Virgil is giving him meals that require a little thought about his particular tastes and preferences. 

This particular chicken salad sandwich is one of Virgil's favorites - one of the few things he actually requests, which means it's pretty high on the list! The apples and walnuts are a crunchy surprise and add a strong hint of Fall flavor to an otherwise ordinary sandwich. Here's hoping you love it as much as we do! 

Apple & Walnut Chicken Salad Sandwich

1 Large Chicken Breast {like from the deli section}, cooked and shredded
3/4 cup Mayonnaise
3/4 tsp. Onion Powder
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 Apple, chunked
1/2 cup Walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup Grapes, chopped {optional}

Mix the mayonnaise, onion powder and salt together. Add the apple chunks and walnuts to the chicken and mix all together with the mayonnaise mixture. {You can add more or less mayo, depending on how moist you like your salad and the actual amount of chicken you use.} You can also use a rotisserie chicken instead of the chicken breast, if you have it on hand. It's a great way to use up some leftovers in your fridge!

Serve with bread and enjoy!

I think this is the first non-sweet recipe I've posted. Hmm...I might have to get better at that! ;) I hope you all have a lovely day!

The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall,
    for the Lord upholds him with his hand. ~ Psalm 37:23 & 24
