Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 8 slices Gluten-free bread slices
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 stalks Celery stalks, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Red grapes, halved
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
Instructions
Start by shredding or cubing the cooked chicken breast into a large mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the chicken. Stir well to combine.
Toss the finely chopped celery, red onion, red grapes, and fresh parsley into the mix. Gently fold the ingredients together until evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste the chicken salad and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if desired.
On each gluten-free bread slice, lay a lettuce leaf. Spoon about half-cup of chicken salad onto one bread slice, and then top with another slice, lettuce side down.
Press down gently on each sandwich to hold the layers together, slice in half if desired, and serve immediately or wrap tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
