Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups Cooked Chicken Breast, diced
  • 6 slices Bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/3 cup Mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 2 tbsp Yellow Mustard
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1/3 cup Celery, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions
 

  • Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, flipping occasionally, until crispy on both sides, about 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and let cool completely before crumbling.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, yellow mustard, dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until the dressing is smooth and glossy.
  • Season with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust the honey or mustard to get your perfect balance of sweet and tangy.
  • Add the diced cooked chicken breast and toss until every piece is evenly coated in the honey mustard dressing.
  • Fold in the diced celery, red onion, and crumbled bacon. Stir gently until everything is well combined and evenly distributed.
  • Sprinkle in the chopped fresh parsley and fold it through one final time.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving. Serve on croissants, on toasted sourdough, or wrapped in large lettuce leaves.
