### 👩‍🍳 Directions:

1. **Mix the filling:** In a medium bowl, combine shredded chicken, celery, onion (if using), Miracle Whip, mustard, salt, pepper, and sugar. Mix well until fully blended.

2. **Chill:** For best flavor, cover and refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together.

3. **Serve:** Spoon generously onto soft sandwich rolls, white bread slices, or even crackers for a quick snack.

4. **Optional:** Add lettuce, pickles, or a slice of cheese if desired—but it’s just as delicious on its own.
