Rosemary Chicken Sandwiches, filled with shredded chicken breast, freshly sliced celery and a rosemary dressing, are one of those hearty, satisfying dishes that will remind you of a sandwich spread you might find at your favorite deli.
Rosemary is one of my favorite flavors. It goes especially well with grapefruit in cocktails.

Recipe Tips
If you have shredded chicken on hand, this takes two minutes to put together. A rotisserie chicken also works.
The salad does benefit from a couple hours in the fridge to marry the flavors.
So put it together in the morning while you're making breakfast and it will be perfect by lunch.
Use this recipe as a base and be creative. Add a half cup of chopped grapes or add a quarter cup of slivered almonds or chopped walnuts for crunch.
Are you barbecuing this weekend? Throw a couple extra chicken breasts or thighs on the grill for the sandwiches.
I like my salad sandwiches a bit on the dry side, if you like them super moist, you might want a slather of mayo on your sandwich roll.
