Directions
Step 1
Chop the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Step 4
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and gently toss to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Step 5
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Step 6
Assemble the sandwiches by layering a lettuce leaf on a slice of bread, then spooning a generous portion of the chicken salad on top.
