Chicken Salad

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Preparing the Chicken Salad

  1. 1

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded cooked chicken, mayonnaise, chopped celery, finely chopped red onion, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and chopped fresh parsley.

  2. 2

    Mix Well

    Using a spatula or spoon, mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined and creamy. Adjust seasoning based on your taste.

  3. 3

    Chill (optional)

    For best flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Assembling the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Prepare the Bread

    Take the slices of bread and lay them flat on a clean surface. If desired, toast the bread for extra crunch.

  2. 5

    Add Lettuce

    Place a lettuce leaf on each slice of bread.

  3. 6

    Spread Chicken Salad

    Generously spoon the chicken salad mixture onto two of the bread slices on top of the lettuce.

  4. 7

    Add Tomato and Avocado

    Layer sliced tomato and optional avocado on top of the chicken salad.

  5. 8

    Top with Remaining Bread

    Place the remaining two slices of bread on top to complete the sandwich.

  6. 9

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of side.
