Ingredients
4 slices whole grain bread
1/2 cup cooked chicken, diced
1/2 cup canned peach slices, drained and diced
1 celery stalk, finely diced
1/2 cup diced apple (Fuji, Gala, or Braeburn)
1 small onion, finely minced
1 1/2 tablespoons nonfat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon chopped walnuts
Directions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the diced cooked chicken, drained and diced peach slices, diced celery, diced apple, minced onion, chopped walnuts, and nonfat mayonnaise.
Gently fold all ingredients together until well combined and evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Divide the chicken salad mixture evenly between 2 of the bread slices, spreading it generously.
Top each filled slice with the remaining 2 bread slices to form two complete sandwiches.
Serve immediately or wrap in parchment paper for transport. For best flavor, serve while the salad is still cool.
Comments
This is a solid weeknight lunch for two with readily available ingredients at any Charlotte chain—bread, rotisserie chicken, celery, onion, mayo, and walnuts cost roughly $12–14 total, or $6–7 per serving for a filling sandwich. The stated 20 minutes is honest if you're using a store-bought rotisserie chicken; fresh peaches and apples are seasonal (peaches peak summer through early fall, apples year-round), and the fruit choice gives it a pleasant local relevance for a North Carolina kitchen. The main drawback is that it does not reheat well—chicken salad is a same-day sandwich, best eaten fresh—so it's strictly a lunch or dinner solution, not a make-ahead meal for busy families.
