- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)

Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine shredded rotisserie chicken, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until evenly mixed.
Add the diced celery and chopped green onion to the chicken mixture and stir to combine.
If desired, lightly butter one side of each slice of bread and toast them in a skillet over medium heat until golden brown. Alternatively, use untoasted bread if you prefer a softer sandwich.

Spoon the chicken mixture onto the lettuce and tomato, spreading it evenly.
Top with the second slice of bread and press gently.
Slice the sandwich in half for easier handling, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
