Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 1/3 cup finely diced celery
  • 2 tablespoons finely diced red onion
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Black pepper to taste
  • 8 slices sandwich bread
  • lettuce leaves and tomato slices, optional

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, Dijon, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust the lemon or mustard to taste.
  2. Add the chicken, celery, and red onion. Fold gently until everything is coated evenly.
  3. Toast the bread if you like. Pile the chicken salad onto 4 slices, top with lettuce and tomato if using, and close the sandwiches. Slice and serve.

Notes

This recipe assumes you have cooked chicken ready. To poach chicken breasts from raw, simmer them in lightly salted water for 12 to 15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, then cool and shred. The salad itself can be made a day ahead and chilled.
