Ingredients:
- 500g cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 2 stalks celery (100g), finely diced
- 1/4 cup red onion (40g), minced
- 2 tbsp fresh dill
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise (60ml)
- 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (60g)
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (15g)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (15ml)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions:
- Shred the protein. Take your 500g of cooked chicken and pull it apart using two forks. Note: Aim for long, thin strands rather than chunks.
- Dice the aromatics. Finely mince the 40g of red onion and dice the 100g of celery into uniform 2mm pieces.
- Chop the herbs. Run your knife through the 2 tbsp of fresh dill until it releases a bright, grassy aroma.
- Create the base. In your chilled bowl, whisk together the 60ml mayo, 60g yogurt, 15g Dijon, and 15ml lemon juice.
- Season the emulsion. Add the 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper to the liquid base until the dressing looks glossy and speckled.
- Combine the elements. Add the chicken, celery, and onion into the dressing bowl.
- The gentle fold. Use a spatula to fold the chicken into the sauce until every strand is thinly coated and velvety.
- The herb finish. Fold in the fresh dill last to keep the color vibrant.
- Chill and set. Cover and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes until the flavors have shook hands and settled.
- Assemble the sandwich. Scoop a generous portion onto your bread of choice, adding a leaf of bibb lettuce for a moisture barrier.
