"Originally printed in 1981, here is Craig Claiborneâ??s take on the classic chicken salad sandwich. In his version, a combination of mayonnaise (preferably homemade) and yogurt is used which yields a lighter, tangier sandwich filling. He calls for using poached chicken, but the leftover roast chicken from last night would work beautifully as well. Featured in: Salads, Sandwiches, Sauces...."
