Denise, I've posted my chicken salad spread here more than once. It's
not a "measured" recipe, though. Done in a food processor, things get
well chopped up but not to a puree. Cooked chicken pieces, some celery,
some onion, seasoning, and mayo to bind. I put the chicken, celery (in
1-inch pieces), and onion (small chunks - not too much) in the fp and
pulse process until it's chopped, then transfer to a mixing bowl and
add mayo to bind. You could sprinkle in some tarragon along with salt
and pepper to taste. Sorry it's not more precise.
I'm thinking that this version (without big chunks of meat) will say
together better in a dainty sandwich.
How about putting the salad mixture in croissants instead of plain bread.
