I love chicken salad. There, it's said. I think that my favorite comes from the Firehouse Deli in Fairfield, Connecticut. It is such a great place in good old Fairfield. The sandwiches are so great, that once Mike, Michele, Lea, and I drove up from Hoboken to get sandwiches on a dull Sunday afternoon. Maybe the idea of a sandwich from Firehouse will be enough to get me to go to our ten year (GASP!) college reunion in June. This is not nearly as good as Firehouse, but it hit the spot one night after work. Bonus, it's easy to prepare.
two cooked chicken breasts (I cooked them on our George Foreman grill)
1/2 cup mayonnaise (I used low fat and low calorie)
4 tbsp sour cream (I used light sour cream. Fat free sometimes doesn't taste as good)
2 tsp Dijon mustard
2 tsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Cut the chicken into bite size pieces. Mix the remaining ingredients in a large bowl until well blended.
I like to serve this on toasted bread. However, crackers work just as well. I think the lemon juice really works with the chicken salad. I could have put in celery or add nuts for some crunch, but why mess with something that you like. A piece of lettuce on the sandwich could be put on the bread to give the sandwich the crunch that you may desire.

She is being modest, this was a kick@$$ chicken salad and I never eat Chicken salad (especially anything mass-produced at a deli/cafeteria). Throw on some toasted bread with some Bacon and avocado... Amazing
