Ingredients

2 cups finely chopped poached chicken about 8 chicken tenderloins
2 to 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard optional
1 tablespoon finely minced celery
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
Salt and pepper to taste
12 slices soft white bread crusts removed
Butter optional

Instructions

Directions:
In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon (if using), lemon juice, celery, dill, salt, and pepper. Add chopped chicken and stir gently until evenly coated. Chill if time allows.
Spread a thin layer of butter on each bread slice if desired. Add about 3 tablespoons of chicken salad to 6 of the slices, spreading evenly to the edges. Top with remaining slices and press gently.
Slice each sandwich into 3 fingers or 4 triangles. Serve immediately or chill until ready to serve in an airtight container.

Notes

Soft butter for the bread is optional, but it is highly recommended to prevent soggy sandwiches.

This recipe can be scaled up for larger quantities.

For a presentation boost, you can wrap some of the sandwiches in a bow with chive leaves.
