Shredded chicken is good for making salads because it exposes more of the surface to the mayonnaise. To shred, tear with fingers while the chicken is still warm. The recipe makes about 3 cups salad; it can also be used for wraps or pitas.
Ingredients
- 1/2cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
- 2teaspoons lemon juice
- 1teaspoon Djon mustard
- 1/2teaspoon salt
- -- Coarsely ground black pepper
- 2cups (8 ounces) shredded cooked chicken breast
- 1cup grape tomato halves
- 2tablespoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- 2tablespoons chopped fresh chives
- 8slices multi-grain bread
- -- Lettuce leaves optional
Instructions
- Combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken, tomatoes, parsley and chives; stir gently.
- Spoon about a quarter of the chicken salad on one slice of bread, top with lettuce and another slice of bread and cut diagonally in half. Repeat with remaining bread, salad and lettuce.
