Tarragon Chicken Salad Melt Sandwich
Working from home allows me to fancy up a sandwich or two on occasion — like whipping up a chicken melt sandwich and toasting it a bit in the oven. I guess you could call it a perk. However, I’m certain this would be amazing on bread, a soft roll or even a couple slices of toast.
Several years ago I was on a work trip and we enjoyed lunch at a small local cafe. The chicken salad sounded delicious; however, it had tarragon in it. Tarragon? At the time I didn’t have a clue what that was. Nevertheless, I gave it a try and found it to be delicious with a subtle flavor.
I remembered coming home and thinking that I needed to try making it for myself. Welp, it never happened. You know how that goes (insert face palm).
Then I happened to stumble along this Tarragon Chicken Melt Sandwich Recipe. It looked and sounded pretty amazing. This time I was going to make it too.
Let me tell you, adding some Jarlsburg cheese and making it into a melt was the perfect touch too. Steve (my husband) can be a bit of skeptic with all some the recipes I try; however, he loved this one.
Of course we couldn’t eat all of it in one sitting, so he at the leftovers. Always a good sign, right? (wink-wink)
Serve with a side of fruit or a few baked chips and lunch is served! I hope you enjoy this as much as we did.
