The lemon lightens it up-the lemon zest plays a crucial role here-and the fresh thyme gives it a nice aroma. This chicken salad is delicious on anything from sourdough to your standard sliced bread. Thankfully, I have the perfect simple, no-fail roasted chicken recipe for you right here on the blog!Īs for the bread, you of course don’t have to go all homemade-baguette on these. Yes, you could just buy a rotisserie chicken at the grocery store, but I promise you it’s so much tastier and healthier to make it yourself. It all starts with a great roasted chicken. But these sandwiches (and a breezy summer dress never hurts) usually does the trick! I should note that Matt isn’t one to exactly jump at any opportunity to picnic-it takes some pushing.
#Lemon thyme chicken salad full
From December to February, it’s nice to enjoy even just an hour or two on a blanket near the water, especially since we live just a mile away, with a basket full of goodies, books and games.
Matt and I never picnic in the summer here in Florida since it’s just too hot and humid, but “winter” (which is just about here!) is prime picnic-time for us. Last year I scored an actual checkered-lined picnic basket from Goodwill-for a steep $5.99-and this is what I packed inside, along with fresh strawberries and Italian prosecco. Topped with arugula and pesto on homemade baguettes, this sandwich deserves to be in a checkered-lined picnic basket. But this chicken salad has the perfect actual-chicken texture with a light and refreshing lemon-herb mayo. It’s often too heavy, with too much mayo, and the texture is not-so-great.
I have to admit, I haven’t always been a chicken salad fan.
