Classic Chicken Salad Sandwich

A Classic Chicken Salad Sandwich is a delicious and easy-to-make meal, perfect for lunch or a light dinner. Here’s a simple recipe to make it:

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked chicken, chopped (you can use rotisserie chicken or leftover chicken)

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise

• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard (optional)

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped

• 1/4 cup red grapes or apple, chopped (optional, for sweetness)

• 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped (optional)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• 4 slices of bread (whole wheat, white, or any bread you prefer)

• Lettuce leaves (optional)

• Sliced tomatoes (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken Salad:

   • In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard (if using), and lemon juice. Stir until the chicken is fully coated.

   • Add the celery, grapes (or apple), and red onion, and mix well.

   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

2. Assemble the Sandwich:

   • Toast the bread slices lightly (optional) or leave them as they are for a softer texture.

   • Place a layer of lettuce on one slice of bread (optional for extra crunch and freshness).

   • Spoon the chicken salad mixture onto the bread, spreading it out evenly.

   • Add sliced tomatoes if you want an extra burst of flavor.

3. Serve:

   • Top with the second slice of bread and cut the sandwich in half if desired.

   • Serve immediately or wrap it up for lunch on the go!

Tips:

• For a healthier option, you can substitute Greek yogurt for some or all of the mayonnaise.

• Feel free to adjust the ingredients to your taste – add nuts like almonds or walnuts for crunch, or use different fruits for a twist.

Enjoy your classic chicken salad sandwich!
