Tender chicken mixed with grapes, celery, and creamy dressing on whole wheat bread for a fresh meal.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced (approximately 2 large breasts)

→ Produce

02 - 1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
03 - 1 celery stalk, finely chopped
04 - 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
05 - 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
06 - 1 teaspoon lemon juice

→ Dressing

07 - 1/2 cup mayonnaise
08 - 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
09 - 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
10 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ Sandwich Assembly

11 - 8 slices whole wheat sandwich bread
12 - 1 cup lettuce leaves (romaine or butter lettuce)

# Directions:

01 - In a large bowl, mix diced chicken, halved grapes, chopped celery, red onion, and parsley until evenly distributed.
02 - In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, salt, and pepper until smooth.
03 - Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and toss gently to coat thoroughly. Adjust seasoning to taste.
04 - Arrange 4 slices of bread on a flat surface. Place lettuce leaves on each slice followed by a generous amount of the chicken mixture.
05 - Cover with remaining bread slices. Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately.

# Cooking Tips:

01 -
  • The grapes add bursts of sweetness that make every bite different and exciting.
  • It comes together in less time than it takes to decide what to order for delivery.
  • Leftovers taste even better the next day once the flavors meld together in the fridge.
02 -
  • Don't add the dressing until you're ready to serve or within an hour of eating, otherwise the celery and grapes release water and make everything soupy.
  • If your chicken is still warm when you mix it, let it cool completely first or the mayonnaise will turn oily and separate.
03 -
  • Toast your bread lightly before assembling to create a barrier that prevents sogginess, especially if you're packing these for later.
  • Taste the salad before you assemble the sandwiches and adjust the salt, pepper, or lemon juice, because once it's on bread it's too late to fix bland filling.
