Ingredients
Yield: 4 servings
Let’s make it
- Check the cooked chicken for any bones or skin, then cut it into small, even pieces.
- Stir the mayonnaise, Dijon, lemon juice, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
- Fold in the chicken, celery, and red onion until coated. Taste and adjust the seasoning.
- Toast the bread lightly if desired. Pat the lettuce dry so it does not make the bread soggy.
- Place one lettuce leaf on each of four bread slices. Divide the chicken salad evenly over the lettuce.
- Top with the remaining bread, slice in half, and serve immediately.
Storing & reheating
Refrigerate the filling promptly and use within 3 days, accounting for how long the cooked chicken has already been stored. Assemble sandwiches close to serving.
