Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 stalks Celery
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 slices Sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
Instructions
Finely chop the cooked chicken breast and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Dice the celery into small pieces and add it to the bowl with the chicken.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and chives, then add them to the mixing bowl.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and stir thoroughly to combine. Ensure that the chicken salad is evenly coated.
Lay out the slices of sandwich bread on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the softened butter on one side of each slice. This helps prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
Spread a generous layer of the chicken salad onto 4 slices of the buttered bread, then top with the remaining 4 slices, butter-side down, to create sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, trim the crusts off the sandwiches for a clean, elegant look.
Cut each sandwich into 4 small triangles or squares, depending on your preference.
Serve immediately or cover with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap until ready to serve to keep the sandwiches fresh.
