How to Make Kicked Up Chicken Salad Sandwiches

  1. Hard-boil 2 large eggs. While eggs boil, drain two 5-ounce cans of chicken breast and shred the chicken into a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish, 1-2 jalapeños (finely minced, adjust to your spice preference), 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Once eggs are cooked, peel and dice them. Add the diced eggs and 4 slices of cooked and crumbled bacon to the bowl.
  4. Gently mix all ingredients until well combined.
  5. Serve the chicken salad on toasted bread. For an extra crunch and freshness, top with lettuce leaves.
