Salad Ingredients

Sourdough Bread

Method

Preparing the Chicken Salad

  1. 1

    Step 1: Shred the Chicken

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

  2. 2

    Step 2: Combine Ingredients

    Add the mayonnaise, diced celery, finely chopped red onion, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, lemon juice, and chopped parsley to the bowl with the shredded chicken.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Mix Well

    Use a spatula or spoon to mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.

Preparing the Sourdough

  1. 4

    Step 4: Toast the Bread

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, place the sourdough slices in the skillet and toast until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Assembling the Chicken Salad Sandwich

  1. 5

    Step 5: Assemble the Sandwich

    Once the bread is toasted, spoon a generous amount of the chicken salad mixture onto one slice of sourdough. Top with another slice of bread to create a sandwich. Repeat for the remaining slices.

  2. 6

    Step 6: Serve

    Cut the sandwiches in half if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of sides.
