  1. Place the cooked chicken in a large bowl and shred or chop into small pieces.
  2. Add mayonnaise gradually and mix until the chicken is creamy and well coated.
  3. Stir in chopped celery and red onion for crunch and flavor.
  4. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well and adjust seasoning to taste.

Notes

For a healthier option, substitute part of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt. You can also add grapes or apples for a sweet twist. Toast the bread for extra texture or use whole grain bread for a more filling sandwich.
