Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (shredded or diced) Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup (halved) Red grapes
- 1 stalk (finely chopped) Celery
- 0.25 cup (finely diced) Red onion
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon (or to taste) Black pepper
- 4 slices Multigrain bread
- 2 leaves Leaf lettuce
Instructions
Start by shredding or dicing the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place it in a large mixing bowl.
Add the halved red grapes, finely chopped celery, and diced red onion to the mixing bowl with the chicken. Stir gently to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and mix thoroughly until everything is evenly coated.
Taste the chicken salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Lay out the slices of multigrain bread. Place a leaf of lettuce on two of the slices.
Spoon the chicken salad evenly over the lettuce and spread it out gently. Top with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
Cut the sandwiches in half if desired and serve immediately. Customize with additional toppings if preferred, such as sliced avocado or tomato.
