Ingredients

2 cups chopped or shredded cooked chicken

1/2 cup chopped celery

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves

1/2 teaspoon coarse salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/3 cup mayonnaise, or to taste

3 teaspoons unsalted butter, softened

12 slices whole-grain bread

6 romaine lettuce leaves, cleaned, patted dry, and chilled

Preparation

In a medium bowl, stir together the chicken, celery, parsley, salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Stir in the mayonnaise, little by little, to achieve the desired consistency. The chicken salad can be made ahead and refrigerated for 1 day.

Spread butter on each slice of bread. Sandwich with chicken salad and a leaf of lettuce. Serve with salty potato chips.
