The Easiest Chicken Salad Sandwiches (Mother’s Day Brunch Idea)

This post is sponsored by Smart & Final. All content is my own.

If you are in quarantine and stuck at home, finding all the ingredients for a family meal can be frustrating. We’ve been sticking with go-to favorites that are easily adaptable like my Chicken Salad Sandwiches.

There are so many great tips I’ve found helpful when shopping during these times.

• Look through your pantry and make a list of what you already have to work with before making a grocery list.
• Shop essentials that are versatile for many recipes like rice, beans, tortillas, flour, etc.
• Take advantage of stores like Smart & Final where they sell things in bulk. I just found a 25 lb. bag of flour at our local Smart & final, which will last us for months.
• Find recipes that can be easily adjusted. Trading out bread for tortillas, different dressings, or ingredients that can be substituted.

Advantages of Shopping Pantry Items at Smart & Final

Like I said, pantry items are easy to find at Smart & Final. Often times you can find them in bulk or family sizes.

This means less trips to the store and a stocked up pantry that will last longer for your family meals and snacks.

I separated my huge 25 lb. bag of flour into freezer bags to store in our freezer for baking and cooking when we need it.

For my Chicken Salad Sandwich recipe below I used First Street canned chicken and croissants. Both great pantry staples to get for dinners.
