- 2 to 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard optional

Instructions
Instructions
- First thing, cook your chicken tenderloins in the pressure cooker with a cup of water or chicken broth. Seal the lid tight with the sealing ring and wait for the float valve to pop up.
- Cook under high pressure for about 8 minutes. Use a quick release when done to keep that tender pull.
- Once chicken’s cooled down a bit, chop it into fine pieces for the salad.
- In a medium bowl, toss together chopped chicken, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard if you want, minced celery, chopped dill, and fresh lemon juice.
- Mix everything real good so the chicken salad gets all evenly coated with the mayo and herbs.
- Season with salt and pepper, but don’t overdo it, the flavors gotta shine bright.
- Lay out the white bread slices and spread a thin layer of butter if you want, for extra smoothness.
- Spread the chicken salad mixture on half of the bread slices, then top with the rest. Cut into triangles or fingers, serve fresh or chill until dinner.
- Chill if time allows for flavors to meld perfectly before serving.
Notes
Soft butter for the bread is optional, but it is highly recommended to prevent soggy sandwiches. This recipe can be scaled up for larger quantities. For a presentation boost, you can wrap some of the sandwiches in a bow with chive leaves.
