Chicken Salad Sandwiches for a Crowd

Every once in a while I come by a recipe that quickly becomes an old favorite.  Chicken Salad Sandwiches for a Crowd has proudly been added to my repertoire.  On more than one occasion this past spring, I served these sandwiches and got rave reviews.  We entertain a lot, and when the weather gets warm and baseball and golf season come around, I love go-to recipes that can be made ahead and served with ease.  It's simple enough to prepare for a lunch box, but tasty enough for a very casual meal for guests.  I hope this one becomes part of your repertoire too!
