Instructions
Prepare The Chicken
- If not already cooked, boil or grill chicken breasts until fully cooked. Let cool, then shred or chop into bite-sized pieces.

Season
- Add salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix well.
Chill (Optional But Recommended)
- Cover and refrigerate the chicken salad for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
Assemble The Sandwich
- Toast the bread if desired. Spread the chicken salad onto one slice. Add lettuce or tomato slices if using, then top with the second slice of bread.
Serve
- Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately, or wrap it up for a picnic or lunchbox.
