Lemon-Basil Chicken Salad Sandwiches
Serves: 14
 
Ingredients
  • 21 very thin slices wheat bread
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil leaves
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup slivered almonds, lightly toasted
Instructions
  1. Using a 1¾-inch square cutter, cut 42 squares from frozen bread slices. To let thaw and to prevent bread from drying out during assembly, cover with damp paper towels, or store in a resealable plastic bag.
  2. In a large bowl, combine chicken, mayonnaise, sour cream, basil, lemon zest, salt, and pepper, stirring to blend. Add almonds, stirring until combined.
  3. Spread half of chicken salad in a thin layer onto 14 bread squares. Top each with another bread square, and spread with a thin layer of remaining chicken salad. Top each with a third bread square to make 14 triple-stack sandwiches. Serve immediately, or cover with damp paper towels, place in a covered container, and refrigerate until serving time.
