Chicken Salad

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Chicken Salad

    In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, diced celery, diced red onion, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Lightly butter one side of each slice of sourdough bread.

  3. 3

    Grill the Bread

    Place the buttered side down on the grill. Toast until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and toast the other side.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Sandwich

    Spread a generous scoop of the chicken salad on two of the grilled slices of bread. Top with lettuce leaves and tomato slices, then place the other slices of bread on top.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately with additional mayonnaise on the side if desired.
