Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
  • ½ cup crisp celery, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon chives, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, thinly sliced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 4 slices good quality bread (rustic sourdough, multigrain, or whole grain)

Optional Additions & Variations

  • Avocado slices or mashed avocado (for dairy-free creaminess)
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños (for a spicy kick)
  • Toasted walnuts or sliced almonds (for nutty crunch)
  • Lettuce or baby spinach leaves (for extra greens)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Start with cooked chicken breast, either poached or roasted, and shred or dice it into bite-sized pieces for an even distribution of flavors.
  2. Make the Dressing: In a bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, freshly squeezed lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Whisk them together until smooth and creamy.
  3. Mix the Salad: Add chicken, finely chopped celery, red onion, and fresh herbs to the bowl. Gently fold everything together so the dressing coats all the ingredients evenly.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread the chicken salad generously on your choice of bread. Add extra greens like lettuce or baby spinach if desired, then top with another slice of bread.
  5. Serve: Cut the sandwich diagonally and serve immediately for the freshest taste. Enjoy the delightful combination of textures and flavors!

Notes

  • Use fresh parsley and chives to enhance the flavor beyond dried herbs.
  • Shred chicken properly to avoid large chunks and ensure tenderness.
  • Adjust mayonnaise and yogurt ratio to your preferred creaminess and tang.
  • Chill the chicken salad for 20 minutes before serving to enhance flavors.
  • Lightly toast your bread to add crunch and prevent sogginess.
  • Store leftover chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; keep bread separate.
  • Freezing the salad is not recommended due to separation of mayo and yogurt.
  • Enjoy the sandwich cold or at room temperature for best texture.
