Honey Dijon Chicken Salad image

While I have dozens of chicken salad recipes I made this last night for a church supper and put it at the top of my list favorites. The honey and Dijon mustard really make this salad stand out. We use a slice of white and a slice of wheat bread to make the sandwiches, and also cut them into fourths making triangles. Serving these on a pretty platter, point side up makes for a great presentation.

This chicken salad is delicious! The dressing is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I love that it's made with Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise, which makes it a healthier option.
