Chicken Salad

Sandwich Assembly

Method

Prepare Chicken Salad

  1. 1

    Shred the Chicken

    Using two forks, shred the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place in a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, diced celery, chopped green onions, chopped parsley, chopped dill, salt, and black pepper to the shredded chicken. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

  3. 3

    Chill the Mixture

    Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Assemble the Sandwich

  1. 4

    Toast the Ciabatta

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the ciabatta pieces on a baking sheet and toast in the oven for about 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown.

  2. 5

    Layer the Ingredients

    Once toasted, take the ciabatta pieces and layer a handful of lettuce leaves on the bottom half of each piece. Spoon a generous amount of the chilled chicken salad on top of the lettuce, then add slices of tomato.

  3. 6

    Finish the Sandwich

    Place the top half of the ciabatta on each sandwich and serve immediately.
