Ingredients

Scale

Chicken Salad Mix

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Bread & Garnishes

  • Soft bread rolls or slices (4 pieces)
  • Optional lettuce leaves
  • Optional fresh herbs (parsley or chives) for garnish
  • Optional thin cucumber slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Cook chicken breast thoroughly by poaching or roasting until fully cooked and tender. Allow to cool, then shred or dice into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Chop Fresh Ingredients: Finely dice the celery and green onions. Have fresh lemon juice ready to squeeze to add brightness to the salad.
  3. Mix the Dressing: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy to create the dressing.
  4. Combine All Ingredients: Gently toss the shredded chicken with diced celery, green onions, and the creamy dressing ensuring everything is evenly coated without overmixing to maintain texture.
  5. Assemble the Sandwich: Lightly toast the bread if desired. Layer lettuce leaves on the bread for extra crunch, then pile the chicken salad generously on top. Close the sandwich and press gently to keep it together.

Notes

  • Use fresh celery and freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best brightness and crunch.
  • Stir the salad gently to avoid turning it soggy, maintaining a good mix of textures.
  • Lightly toast the bread to prevent sogginess and add a delightful crunch.
  • Adjust seasoning last by tasting before assembling to perfectly balance salt, pepper, and acidity.
  • Chill the chicken salad in the fridge before serving to allow flavors to meld.
