  • 2 cup cooked chicken diced

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, combine diced chicken, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard.
  • Stir in chopped celery and red onion.
  • Add fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the mixture and mix well.
  • Let the chicken salad rest for 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  • Toast or grill the sandwich bread slices until golden brown.
  • Place a leaf of lettuce on one slice of toasted bread.

Notes

For an extra kick, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or a sprinkle of paprika to the chicken salad mixture. Using fresh, high-quality bread will enhance the texture and taste of the sandwich. If you're looking for a lighter option, Greek yogurt can be substituted for mayonnaise.
