Instructions
Dice the cooked chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the celery into small pieces and add to the bowl with the chicken.

In a separate smaller bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently mix everything together until evenly coated.
If desired, chop the fresh parsley and stir it into the chicken salad for additional flavor and color.
Taste the chicken salad and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
To assemble the sandwiches, place butter lettuce leaves on 4 slices of bread.
Spoon a generous portion of the cherry chicken salad onto the lettuce layer.
Top with the remaining slices of bread and cut each sandwich in half if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
