Ingredients
- 2 cups (shredded or diced) Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup (drained if using canned) Pineapple chunks
- 0.33 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 stalk (diced) Celery
- 0.25 cup (finely chopped) Red onion

- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced chicken, pineapple chunks, diced celery, and finely chopped red onion.
Add mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
If using, stir in the sliced almonds for added crunch and chopped parsley for freshness.
Taste the chicken salad and adjust seasonings (salt and pepper) as needed.
Lay out the bread slices or sandwich rolls. On the bottom half of each sandwich, place a lettuce leaf to add a crisp layer.
Spoon a generous amount of the pineapple chicken salad mixture onto the lettuce-lined bread.
Top with the remaining bread slices or sandwich roll tops and gently press down.
Cut each sandwich in half, if desired, and serve immediately. Alternatively, wrap sandwiches tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve.
