  2. Add the cooked chicken, chopped celery, red onion, and grapes to the bowl with the dressing.
  3. Use a large spoon to fold everything together until the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated with the yogurt mixture.
  4. Stir in the fresh dill or parsley for a burst of herbal flavor.
  5. Taste the salad and add a little more salt or pepper if you like.
  6. Cover the bowl and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 to 30 minutes to help the flavors blend together.
Assembly
  1. To assemble, place a scoop of chicken salad onto a slice of bread. Top with lettuce and tomato if desired.
  2. Close the sandwich with another slice of bread, cut it in half, and enjoy!

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days. For meal prep, assemble the salad without the bread and store separately to prevent sogginess.
