Chicken Mayo Sandwiches
If you want that super-fresh sandwich effect for a picnic, pack the freshest sliced loaf you can find, mix the filling in a bowl, keep it chilled and assemble your sandwiches on the spot. They'll never taste better. We like to use poached chicken for a succulent result.

Ingredients
2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
1/2 cup good-quality mayonnaise
2 tbsp toasted pine nuts
1 tbsp chopped tarragon, or basil leaves
2 tsp lemon juice
salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
10–12 slices bread
butter, at room temperature
2 handfuls of rocket
Method
Combine chicken, celery, mayonnaise, pine nuts, herbs and lemon juice in a bowl.
Butter the bread and spread half of the slices with the chicken mixture and some rocket. Top with another slice of bread.
Cut into triangle quarters, discarding crusts. They will keep fresh in the fridge for several hours if covered with a damp paper towel.
