2 whole poached chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 cups cherry tomatoes, cut in half DRESSING
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Few dashes Tabasco or similar hot pepper sauce

slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
2. Whisk together the ingredients for the dressing.
3. When the bacon is cool, combine it in a bowl with the lettuce,
chicken, and tomatoes. Add the dressing and toss to combine,
taking care not to break up the tomatoes.
4. Toast or grill the bread; place the slices on individual plates
and heap the salad on top; serve as open-faced sandwiches.
