Chicken Salad Sandwiches are a creamy, crunchy, and versatile meal made with tender chicken mixed in a flavorful dressing and served on bread, croissants, or wraps. They’re perfect for quick lunches, picnics, or light dinners and can be customized with fruits, nuts, or herbs.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie or leftover)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard or yellow mustard (optional)
  • 2 celery stalks, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red onion or green onions, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 4–6 slices of bread, croissants, rolls, or wraps
  • Leaf lettuce (optional, for layering)
  • Optional mix-ins: 1/2 cup diced apple, grapes, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts
  • Fresh parsley or dill, chopped (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine chicken, celery, onion, and any optional mix-ins.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  3. Pour dressing over chicken mixture and stir gently until evenly coated.
  4. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes for flavors to meld (optional).
  5. Spoon chicken salad onto bread, croissants, or wraps. Add lettuce if desired.
  6. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.

Notes

  • Rotisserie chicken makes this recipe quick and easy.
  • Greek yogurt or avocado can be used instead of mayo for lighter options.
  • Keep bread and salad separate for meal prep to avoid sogginess.
  • Add curry powder and raisins for a curried chicken salad variation.
  • Best enjoyed within 3 days of preparation.
