Ingredients
  • 1 can canned chicken
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/3 cup pine nuts
  • 3/4 cup mayo
  • 1 cup shredded swiss cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Loaf of fresh ciabatta bread
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 tsp dried basil
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 cloves garlic
Instructions

Begin by mixing the olive oil, basil, oregano, and crushed or minced garlic in a small bowl. This mixture is what you will brush on the ciabatta bread slices. Blend well and let sit.In a separate large bowl, drain and add canned chicken, cranberries, pine nuts, mayo, cheese, salt and pepper.

Mix well and refrigerate.

Heat large skillet or griddle to medium.Slice ciabatta bread into 1/4 inch slices. Liberally brush or spoon olive oil mixture on each slice and place this side down on griddle. Cook until light brown and slightly crispy.For a picnic, you can bring the cooled bread slices in a plastic bag, and the chicken salad mixture in a disposable container. It is quick and easy to make the sandwiches right on the spot! When assembling the sandwiches, place the filling on the toasted sides of the bread, so the outside of the sandwich will be soft.
