Add the dairy-free mayonnaise to the chicken mixture and stir until well combined.
Add the lemon juice, freshly chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl and mix well to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
Taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings as needed, adding more salt or pepper according to your preference.
Lay out the slices of whole grain bread. On four slices, place a lettuce leaf to create a fresh layer.
Spoon a generous portion of the chicken mayonnaise mixture onto each lettuce-covered slice of bread.
Top with the remaining four slices of bread to form sandwiches.
Cut each sandwich in half for easier handling, if desired, and serve immediately.
