Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

• 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
• 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions:

Helpful Tips:

• For a more intense flavor, prepare the chicken salad mixture a few hours in advance and let it chill in the refrigerator.
• If you’re short on time, use rotisserie chicken or leftover cooked chicken.
• Feel free to add diced apples or raisins for a sweet contrast in the chicken salad.

Storage Instructions:

Store any leftover chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Avoid assembling the sandwiches until you are ready to serve to keep the bread from becoming soggy.

Ingredient Substitutions:

• Greek yogurt can be used in place of mayonnaise for a lighter version.
• If you’re out of cilantro, substitute with fresh parsley or mint for a different but equally fresh taste.

Suggested Pairings:

• Serve with a side of crunchy cucumber salad or a bowl of vibrant tomato soup.
• A refreshing glass of iced tea or lemonade complements this sandwich wonderfully.
