Instructions

Prepare Chicken

If starting with raw chicken, cook the chicken breast by boiling it in water for about 15 minutes until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let it cool before chopping.

Pro tip: Use leftover rotisserie chicken for a quicker option.

Mix Dressing

In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, and honey. Stir until smooth.

Pro tip: Adjust the ingredients to taste if you prefer a tangier or sweeter dressing.

Combine Ingredients

Add the chopped chicken, fresh dill, celery, and red onion to the bowl. Mix gently to combine, ensuring the chicken is well coated.

Pro tip: Fold the ingredients rather than stirring vigorously to keep the chicken pieces intact.

Season the Salad

Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes to let the flavours meld.

Pro tip: Taste the salad after chilling and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Prepare Bread and Toppings

While the salad chills, wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Slice the tomato thinly and set aside.

Pro tip: For added crunch, toast the bread slices lightly.

Assemble Sandwiches

Lay out the bread slices. On four slices, place a leaf of lettuce, followed by a generous scoop of chicken salad and a couple of tomato slices. Top with the remaining bread slices.

Pro tip: Cut sandwiches in half diagonally for a classic presentation.
