Chicken & Apple-Cucumber Slaw Sandwiches

I really love chicken salad.  I've made a few different versions and must say no matter what's in it or how it's made, I like it.  During my first job out of college I would make a pretty simple version for lunch everyday.  Now that I have a little more knowledge (and time) I can take it to the next level.  The outcome is sure to please.

Cut one Granny Smith apple into matchsticks.

Cut two English cucumbers into matchsticks.

Thinly slice two scallions.

Stir together apple, cucumbers, scallions and mayonnaise.  Set aside.

Shred chicken from a rotisserie chicken, discarding the skin and bones. 

In a large skillet, heat chicken, mustard, vinegar, honey and 1/4 cup of water over medium-high.  Toss to combine until warmed through, around 3-5 minutes.  Season with salt and pepper.  Divide chicken mixture among buns and top with apple-cucumber slaw.

These are not the sexist thing to eat.  I guarantee you'll end up using around five napkins, and have some food down your shirt.  This sandwich is worth it though.  Be prepared to get messy and enjoy.
