1 loaf white sandwich bread, ½ cup butter
Spread a generous layer of chicken salad onto half the bread slices. Top with the remaining slices, buttered side facing in.

Notes

Make the chicken salad up to 2 days ahead and store it covered in the refrigerator.
Assemble the morning of your event.
Do not freeze.
A whole rotisserie chicken makes a generous amount of chicken salad, so you may have leftovers. They are delicious in Chicken Salad Toast Cups, served on crackers, or spooned into lettuce cups.
Try adding chopped apple and walnuts or finely diced radish for a fun variation.
