Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 stalks Celery
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 8 pieces Cherry tomatoes (optional)
Instructions
Begin by finely chopping the cooked chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Add the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to the bowl with the chicken.
Wash and finely chop the celery stalks, and add them to the mixture for crunch and texture.
Finely dice the red onion and add it to the bowl for a slight bite of flavor.
Chop the fresh dill and add it to the mix for a burst of freshness.
Squeeze the juice of one lemon into the chicken mixture to add brightness and balance to the flavors.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste and mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Prepare each sandwich by placing a generous scoop of the chicken salad in the center of a large lettuce leaf. Use another leaf to create a sandwich-like wrap.
For added color and flavor, optionally adorn with halved cherry tomatoes atop the chicken salad before wrapping.
Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
