Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups (shredded) Cooked chicken breast
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 stalks (diced) Celery
- 0.25 cup (diced) Red onion
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 pieces Bread slices
- 4 tablespoons (softened) Butter
- 4 pieces Lettuce leaves
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, diced celery, diced red onion, chopped parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well incorporated.
Spread a thin, even layer of butter on one side of each bread slice.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat.
Place 4 slices of bread, buttered side down, onto the skillet. Spread a generous amount of the chicken salad mixture onto the non-buttered side of each bread slice in the skillet.
Top the chicken salad mixture with a piece of lettuce for each slice, and then cover with another slice of bread, buttered side up.
Cook the sandwiches for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the bread is golden brown and toasted to your liking. Press down gently with a spatula while cooking to ensure even toasting.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool for 1-2 minutes, then slice in half (if desired).
Serve warm and enjoy your toasty chicken salad sandwiches!
