Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded or diced chicken breast, diced celery, diced apple, halved grapes, and chopped walnuts. Mix gently to combine.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well blended.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and stir until all the ingredients are evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
To assemble the sandwiches, lay out 4 slices of raisin bread on a flat surface. Place a lettuce leaf on each slice.
Spoon a generous portion of the Waldorf chicken salad onto each lettuce-topped slice of bread, spreading it evenly.
