Loaded Chicken Salad Sandwiches
This chicken salad is full of a whole bunch of delicious stuff, and totally void of mayo. To top it all off (literally), it also gets smeared with a quick guacamole before loading the sandwich up with spinach and slapping it between some fiber-filled multigrain toast. I ate this sandwich in about 30 seconds. Amazeballs. Think pimento cheese plus chicken....mmm hmmm.
