Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded Use rotisserie chicken for easy prep.
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise This forms the base of our creamy dressing.
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt Adds creaminess and a healthy twist.
  • 1/2 cup celery, chopped Provides that satisfying crunch.
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped For a bit of sharpness.
  • 1/4 cup grapes, halved A sweet surprise, if you desire (optional).
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard Elevates the flavor profile.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Essential seasonings for balance.
  • Bread of your choice Choose your favorite—whole grain, sourdough, or a classic white!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If you haven’t already, shred your cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces using your hands or two forks.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, and Dijon mustard. Whisk them together until smooth and creamy.
  3. Toss in the chopped celery and finely diced red onion. If you’re using grapes, add those in too! Stir everything together until all the veggies are well coated.
  4. Gently fold in the shredded chicken, ensuring it’s evenly mixed with the dressing. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Spread the chicken salad on your choice of bread. Optionally toast the bread for extra crunch.
  6. Cut your sandwich diagonally, serve it with a side of crunchy chips or a simple salad, and enjoy!

Notes

For a lighter option, swap half of the mayonnaise with more Greek yogurt. Allow the salad to chill for about 30 minutes before serving to enhance flavors. Avoid overmixing the chicken salad to preserve texture. Store the chicken salad separately from the bread to prevent sogginess.
