Craig Claiborne's Chicken Salad Sandwich image

Originally printed in 1981, here is Craig Claiborne's take on the classic chicken salad sandwich. In his version, a combination of mayonnaise (preferably homemade) and yogurt is used which yields a lighter, tangier sandwich filling. He calls for using poached chicken, but the leftover roast chicken from last night would work beautifully as well.
