- 2teaspoons lemon juice
- 1teaspoon Djon mustard
- 1/2teaspoon salt

- 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.
