Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken Salad

  • 2 cooked chicken breasts, shredded or chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley or chives), finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

For Assembling

  • Bread of choice (soft white, whole grain, or sourdough), enough for 2 sandwiches
  • Optional: extra greens or tomato slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cook chicken breasts by poaching, grilling, or baking until fully cooked and juicy. Allow to cool, then shred or chop into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Chop Vegetables: Dice the celery, finely chop the red onion, and prepare fresh herbs like parsley or chives to add freshness and crunchy texture.
  3. Mix the Dressing: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Stir well until smooth and fully incorporated.
  4. Combine Everything: Gently mix the chopped chicken, vegetables, and herbs into the dressing, coating everything evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread the chicken salad generously onto your choice of bread. Add optional greens or tomato slices if desired, then top with another bread slice. Cut and serve immediately for best freshness.

Notes

  • Use day-old or leftover chicken for better flavor absorption.
  • Chill the salad mixture before assembling to enhance texture and flavor.
  • Lightly toast the bread to prevent sogginess and add crunch.
  • Always use fresh herbs like parsley or chives for best taste.
  • Adjust the mayo and lemon juice ratio to suit your preferred creaminess and tanginess.
