Instructions
Poach the chicken: add the chicken thighs, the rough chop carrot, onion, and rough chop celery to a medium pot with a lid. Cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Skim any foam from the top, and reduce heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer until the chicken is cooked, about 20 minutes.
Remove chicken to a plate, let cool, then shred. Chicken can be cooked and shredded up to 3 days in advance and stored in refrigerator.
In a medium mixing bowl, toss the scallions with apple cider vinegar and salt. Set aside.
Add bacon in single layer to large skillet. Cook over medium to medium-low heat, turning occasionally, until crisp and well rendered (about 10 minutes total).
Drain on paper towels, then break each slice in half.
Add the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, diced carrots, and diced celery to the mixing bow with the scallions and vinegar.
Mix to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Toast bread. Divide chicken salad evenly on top of two slices of bread. Top with bacon and close sandwiches.
