Ingredients

• 2 pound rotisserie chicken, shredded
• 0.75 cup mayonnaise
• 0.5 cup celery, diced
• 2 tablespoon red onion, diced
• 0.25 cup sweet pickle relish
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 slice bread
• 4 lettuce
• 2 tomato, sliced

Steps

1. Remove the shredded chicken from the rotisserie chicken if not already shredded, discarding skin and bones. Place shredded chicken in a large mixing bowl.
2. Dice the celery into small pieces and add to the bowl with the chicken.
3. Peel and dice the red onion into small pieces and add to the bowl.
4. Add the mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
5. Stir the ingredients together with a spoon until the chicken salad is evenly combined and creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
6. Slice the tomatoes into thin rounds.
7. Prepare the bread slices for assembly. If desired, lightly toast the bread for 2-3 minutes in a toaster for a crunchier texture (optional but recommended).
8. Lay out 4 bread slices on a clean work surface. Spread a layer of chicken salad evenly on each slice.
9. Place one leaf of lettuce on top of the chicken salad on each bread slice.
10. Top each lettuce-covered slice with 2-3 tomato slices arranged slightly overlapping.
11. Top with remaining 4 bread slices and press gently to secure.
12. Using a serrated knife, cut each sandwich diagonally in half for a classic presentation.
13. Serve immediately on plates with your choice of sides such as chips, pickles, or fresh fruit.
