Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 2 cups cooked chicken
• 1/2 cup mayo
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 1 stick celery chopped small
• 1/2 medium apple chopped small
• 1-2 tablespoons red onion chopped
• For sandwiches: 8 slices bread lettuce, etc.

Instructions

• Prep all ingredients.
• Add the mayo, mustard, lemon juice, parsley, and some salt & pepper to a medium bowl. Stir until smooth.
• Add in the chicken, celery, apple, and red onion. Stir together until combined. Give it a taste and adjust ingredients as needed (e.g. add more salt & pepper).
• Serve in sandwiches/wraps, lettuce wraps, inside an avocado... etc.

Notes

• I used half a Gala apple, but any variety that's not too sweet will work (try Granny Smith or Honeycrisp). Any apple will work, though, if you're ok with more sweetness.
• This recipe will keep for 3-5 days in the fridge.
