2 cups chopped, cooked chicken meat

1/2 cup blanched slivered almonds

1 stalk celery, chopped

Croissants

Place almonds in a frying pan. Toast over medium-high heat, shaking frequently. Watch carefully, as they burn easily.

In a medium bowl, mix together mayonnaise, lemon juice, and pepper. Toss with chicken, almonds, and celery. Spread on croissants for a yummy sandwich.

Answer 8

I do these sandwiches and I just love them. Basically cooked chicken, finely sliced celery, walnuts, mayonnaise all mixed together. Butter your bread (wholemeal fab) put the mix on and some rocket leaves. Wrap them up and put them in the fridge for a while (which seems to improve them).  Great, now I'm hungry.  Otherwise, easy peasy way ... go to the deli ... get sliced salami and cheese and sundried tomatoes and olives and ooooh more cheese ....
