Notes
Often used in club sandwiches.
Sometimes it might seem unimportant to butter the bread. However, spreading butter or margarine on the bread stops the bread from getting soggy, which is especially important if you are making the sandwiches for later. For example, if you are packing a lunch for a road trip or a picnic, you want the bread to remain as fresh as possible. So, buttering the bread will keep it from absorbing moisture from the wet ingredients.
Ingredients
Chicken – any kind of chicken can be used: thighs or whatever. But it is better to use white meat and easier to use boneless, skinless breasts

Salt and pepper to taste
Process
Bring the chicken to a boil and cook at a medium high heat for 1 hour

Debone the chicken (you can skip this step if you used the boneless chicken)
Dice the chicken, onion and celery and mix them together in a large bowl
