The Best Easy Chicken Salad Sandwiches Recipe

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, and add butter and olive oil. Let the butter melt, and coat the bottom of the pan.

Step 2

Season chicken breasts liberally with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Place chicken into hot skillet, and sear chicken in olive oil and butter mixture until browned, then flip and sear other side. About 3 minutes per side.

Step 4

Once both sides are seared, add pineapple juice to the pan, cover with a lid, and let simmer until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. About 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Remove chicken from pan to a cutting board. Dice chicken into even sized pieces. Set aside to let cool.

Step 6

In a medium sized bowl combine the sauce ingredients, and stir until smooth. Taste, and adjust seasonings to preference.

Step 7

Prepare other ingredients: Halve grapes, dice celery, drain water chestnuts, and pineapple tidbits. Then combine everything in a large bowl and stir.

Step 8

Serve in lettuce, on croissants with green leaf lettuce, or eat over lettuce as a salad.
