Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 stalk celery, finely diced
- 1/4 cup grapes, halved (optional)
- 1 Tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 slices bread or rolls
- to taste greens for serving (optional)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, lemon juice, celery, grapes (if using), and parsley. Stir gently until the ingredients are evenly coated.
- Season with salt and pepper. Taste and adjust the dressing if you like it tangier or creamier.
- Toast the bread lightly if you prefer a bit of crunch. You can also use your favorite rolls or a wrap.
- Spoon the chicken salad onto half of the bread slices. Top with greens if you’re using them, then crown with the remaining bread slices.
- If you’re meal prepping, refrigerate the salad mixture in a sealed container and assemble the sandwiches just before serving to keep the bread from getting soggy.
