Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

If using raw chicken, poach it in simmering water with a bay leaf and salt for 15 minutes, or roast it at 375°F (190°C) for 20 minutes until fully cooked.

Let it cool slightly, then shred or dice it into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2: Make the Chicken Salad Mixture

In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, whole-grain mustard, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Add the chicken, celery, green onions, nuts, pickles/capers (if using), and parsley/tarragon.

Stir gently until everything is coated. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.

Step 3: Toast the Bread

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat.

Spread butter on one side of each bread slice and place it on the grill, butter side down.

Toast for 1–2 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy.

Step 4: Assemble the Sandwich

Place a handful of fresh arugula or mixed greens on one slice of toasted bread.

Generously spoon the chicken salad mixture on top.

Place the second slice of toasted bread on top and gently press down.

Slice diagonally and serve immediately.
