1/2 cup diced celery

1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Your favorite gluten free bread

In a small bowl combine mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Stir into the chicken, adding more mayonnaise if needed.
Line bread with lettuce and spread chicken salad on bread or serve chicken salad on lettuce-lined plates.
