Ingredients
  

  • 1 (12.5 oz) can chicken breast, drained
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, minced
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

Method
 

  1. Drain the canned chicken, then use a fork to flake it into bite-sized shreds in a bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper until smooth.
  3. Add the flaked chicken, celery, and red onion to the dressing. Stir until evenly coated. Serve on bread, in a wrap, or over lettuce.

Notes

Chilling the salad for 30 minutes before serving lets the flavors come together. Make ahead up to a day in advance. Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
