Open Faced Chicken Salad Club
Hubby needed a quick meal so I threw this together for him and he loved it!
Chicken Salad Club (by ME!) – serves 21 can cooked chicken
2 Tbsp mayo
1/2 granny smith apple – chopped
2 Tbsp dried cranberries
4 Tbsp slivered almonds
4 pieces cooked turkey bacon
4 pieces cheddar cheese
4 pieces wheat bread
Mix first 5 ingredients to make chicken salad. Lightly toast the bread. Assemble sandwich by stacking cheese, bacon, then chicken salad on one piece of bread. Bake in oven for about 5 minutes until the cheese is melted.






I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 






That hack of using a sturdy plastic straw to pit cherries instead of buying a dedicated tool is genius, especially since roasting them really does bring out such a rich flavor. Even though my work revolves around running Sophia Watson, a playful baby shower site where we help parents predict their little one’s arrival using traditional Chinese and Mayan methods based on birth and conception dates, I have always maintained a separate hobby for seasonal baking. Your summer fruit recipe definitely gave me a new excuse to get back in the kitchen and experiment with whatever produce looks best this month.
