Use a slotted spoon to remove impurities from the boiling chicken.

Cook the chicken on low for about 20 minutes.

Prepare your bread; use Texas toast or Hawaiian buns, which are good toasted.

After 30 minutes, remove the chicken from the pot and let it cool slightly.

Cube or shred the chicken once it's cool enough to handle.

In a mixing bowl, add the cubed or shredded chicken.

Add the chopped red onion to the chicken.

Add about 4-5 tablespoons of mayonnaise to the mixture.

Add 1 tablespoon of ground mustard, adjusting to taste.

Add about half a jar of dill relish or chopped pickles, to taste.

Slice up some grapes and add them to the mixture for sweetness.

Mix everything together until well combined.

Taste and adjust seasoning, adding more mayonnaise or mustard if needed.

Toast the Texas toast until golden brown.

Assemble the sandwich with the chicken salad mixture on the toasted bread.

Place another slice of toasted bread on top to complete the sandwich.

Cut the sandwich in half and serve immediately.
