Ingredients
- 1 cooked chicken breast or 1 chicken leg, shredded
- 3 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp paprika
- a handful crisp lettuce leaves
- 4 slices whole‑wheat or multigrain bread toasted
- pepper
- salt
Instructions
Prepare the chicken
-
Shred the cooked chicken into small, soft pieces. Shredding gives the best texture and absorbs the dressing well.
Make the dressing
-
In a bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Combine
-
Fold the shredded chicken into the dressing. Mix gently so the chicken stays fluffy and well‑coated.
Toast the bread
-
Lightly toast the slices of bread to add structure and warmth.
Assemble the sandwiches
-
Place lettuce on two slices of bread, spoon the chicken salad on top, and finish with the remaining slices.
Serve
-
Slice diagonally and enjoy immediately.
