Ingredients: 1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise; 1/3 cup sweet pickle relish; 1/3 cup finely chopped celery; 1/2 teaspoon sugar; 1/4 teaspoon salt; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 1 hard-boiled large egg, cooled and minced; 2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast; 4 slices whole wheat bread, toasted; 2 romaine leaves

This recipe is incredibly easy to make, and your family will love it. The sweet pickle relish gives it its signature taste. I like to use a thick, crusty oat bread for this sandwich. —Julie Peterson, Crofton, Maryland

Ingredients

1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/3 cup sweet pickle relish
1/3 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 hard-boiled large egg, cooled and minced
2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
4 slices whole wheat bread, toasted
2 romaine leaves

Directions

Mix the first 7 ingredients; stir in chicken. Line 2 slices of toast with lettuce. Top with chicken salad and remaining toast.

Test Kitchen tips

Double the chicken mixture for lunch during the week—use as a sandwich filling, serve over salad greens or spread it on crackers.

If you’re cooking your own bird for this recipe, you'll need roughly half a pound of raw chicken for every cup of chopped cooked breast meat.

Really good, but too much mayo and relish for us. Made again cutting down on both of those and now it's perfect! My mother loves this as a sandwich and also just on lettuce.

Very tasty and easy. I love Chic-Fil-A and their chicken salad and since we don't have a restaurant close by, I can make this at home!
