Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 1 medium Apple (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 stalks Celery
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional)
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 8 slices Whole-grain sandwich bread
Instructions
Dice the cooked chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Core and dice the apple into small cubes. Leave the skin on for extra crunch and color. Add to the mixing bowl with the chicken.
Chop the celery into small pieces and finely dice the red onion. Add both to the bowl.
In a separate small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
If desired, stir in the chopped parsley for added freshness.
Lay out the sandwich bread slices. Place a large lettuce leaf on four of the slices, then evenly distribute the chicken apple salad mixture over the lettuce.
Top each with the remaining slices of bread. Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper for a portable meal.
