Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup celery, finely chopped

- to taste Salt and pepper For seasoning.
- Lettuce leaves For serving.
- Bread or rolls of your choice (whole grain, white, or croissants)
Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your ingredients on the counter. If you haven’t cooked your chicken yet, boil or roast it until fully cooked, then shred or dice.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked chicken, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard. Stir until the chicken is well-coated and creamy.
- Toss in the chopped celery, grapes, and nuts, if using. Mix everything gently to avoid mashing the grapes.
- Taste your chicken salad mixture and add salt and pepper as needed.
- Take your preferred bread or rolls and layer them with a generous scoop of chicken salad. Add lettuce leaves for extra crunch.
- Cut the sandwich in half if desired, and serve with your favorite side like chips, a pickle, or fresh fruit.
Notes
Ensure that the chicken is well-seasoned for extra flavor. You can switch up ingredients like adding lemon juice or herbs. For a creamier texture, use Greek yogurt alongside mayonnaise. To prevent sogginess, toast the bread before assembly. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
