Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 1 medium Apple (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 stalks Celery
- 0.25 cup Red onion
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional)
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 8 slices Whole-grain sandwich bread
Directions
Step 1
Dice the cooked chicken breast into small, bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Core and dice the apple into small cubes. Leave the skin on for extra crunch and color. Add to the mixing bowl with the chicken.
Step 3
Chop the celery into small pieces and finely dice the red onion. Add both to the bowl.
Step 4
In a separate small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently toss until everything is evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Step 6
If desired, stir in the chopped parsley for added freshness.
Step 7
Lay out the sandwich bread slices. Place a large lettuce leaf on four of the slices, then evenly distribute the chicken apple salad mixture over the lettuce.
Step 8
Top each with the remaining slices of bread. Slice in half and serve immediately, or wrap in parchment paper for a portable meal.
