    Chicken salad recipe

    Looking for an easy, tasty chicken salad recipe. Yes I can Google but I want one you have tried and like. Thanks

    I make mine pretty simple:

    Mayo
    Salt & pepper
    Garlic Powder
    Diced chicken breast
    Chopped Parsley
    Diced Purple Onion
    Chopped Sundried tomatoes (use some of the oil too, it adds a good bit of flavor)
    Very thinly sliced celery (paper thin)

    I do it by taste, so I don't have measurements

    I'll also add in lao gan ma chili crisp to mine for some heat and flavor, but most people don't have that (or know it exists).

      Recently, my wife did something a bit different in the way she made chicken salad. Difference is in the way you process it. Doubt we’ll go back to old style.

      rotisserie/roasted chicken, cooled and pulled.
      1/2 Large white onion
      4 stalks celery
      Helmans mayo, 1 cup (more or less to your taste)
      Freeze dried herb blend, Litehouse Salad herb blend (parsley, red onion, chives, shallots, garlic, dill)
      Salt / pepper

      Pulse chicken in food processor to your liking. We break ours down to medium crumbled consistency. Pour chicken in large bowl. Then process the onion and celery in food processor. Pulse it down fairly well, slightly liquid texture. Pour onion/celery over chicken. Add mayo, salt, pepper, and freeze dried herbs then mix to combine.

      Flavors meld better when left to rest overnight in fridge. Attaching photo of herb blend. We found it on end cap of vegetable section at Winco and Sprouts.

          Mix a little curry powder into any plain chicken salad.

            Every time I run the smoker, I always smoke some chicken breasts(or whatever chicken we have in the freezer) for smoked chicken salad. We have grown fond of avocado smoked chicken salad around here.

                Has anyone tried one with grapes, apple and nuts in it? A local fruit barn in town makes a superb chicken salad like this, they protect the recipe though

                  Grape and or apple with pecans. It's good stuff.

                    That's called a chicken Waldorf salad, in case you want to hunt for recipes. I like my chicken salad spicy, salty, and savory, so I don't put fruits (outside of tomatoes) in it. With a regular Waldorf salad (no chicken), I prefer it with a yogurt dressing instead of mayo, but if you're going to add chicken I'd keep the mayo.

                            Mine is close to this except I add a lil mustard and substitute the pickle relish for diced pickled jalapenos.

                              Same here on the Dukes and relish. My MawMaw uses venison neck meat instead of chicken and it is to die for!
