This chicken salad sandwich is a favorite among my sandwich creations, it starts with cooled roasted chicken breast, mixed with crispy celery and infused with a orange, ginger Greek yogurt sauce and then sprinkled with sliced almonds and orange zest. I first posted this as an addition to my crepe recipe back in 2009, but have made some changes along with photos to show how I make this tangy yet savory sandwich. It complements any summer picnic or baby/bridal shower when served with fresh croissant rolls.
