Tasteful Chicken Salad Recipe

If there was one meal I could eat for the rest of my life, it would be chicken salad! There are SO many ways to make it but I swear my recipe has got to be one fo the best ones! Not to mention I make it with Greek Yogurt instead of Mayo to make it healthier! My husband claims this to be the best chicken salad he has ever ate! It is a win, win if you ask me.

You can pair the classic chicken salad with just about anything… add this with croissant, some crackers or make a charcuterie board out of it. It is the perfect summer meal– crisp & fresh. This recipe is also great for a baby shower, graduation, family gathering, etc!

Recipe

  1. First we are going to prep the chicken… there are many ways you can do this
    1. This is my fave way… take 4 chicken breasts (makes about 1lb), pat dry and throw a pinch of salt and pepper on them. Then add to a hot pan on medium-high heat with 1 tbsp of olive oil and cook until done. About 4 minutes on each side. Then take your baking mixer and toss the chicken in a bowl to start shredding. You can also hand shred but it takes a long time!
    2. You can buy a rotisserie chicken and shred the chicken into a bowl
    3. Buy pre-shredded chicken
    4. Buy canned chicken
  2. Time to chop our produce– I’d like to add that I don’t measure anything. I add to taste! I found that is truly the only way to do it!
    1. Red or green grapes (I like both!)
    2. 1 honey crisp apple
    3. Celery
    4. 1/2 Red onion or one small onion
  3. Now let’s add the rest of the ingredients to the mixture! Again, I just eyeball!
    1. Chopped walnuts, you can also do almonds
    2. Dried Cranberries
    3. Dill relish or fresh dill
    4. Salt & pepper
    5. Minced garlic or garlic salt
  4. The key ingredient… Greek yogurt! Make sure you add enough into the mixture to make it smooth and creamy. If it is dry, add more!

So i’m adding the option here to add mayo if you want but I’m telling you guys it is just as good without it!

Now all you have left to do is mix it together and you’re set! Grab your lettuce, cheese if you prefer and place it all on a croissant!

This will last 3-5 days refrigerated

There you have it! The best chicken salad recipe ever! I hope you enjoyed this recipe! Maybe you added some ingredients or removed some to make it your own!
