My husband and our friends absolutely love my chicken salad! I originally got the recipe from my father, but have adapted it slightly. Very easy to make and great on crackers, sandwiches, etc. You can also substitute turkey and make turkey salad - it tastes just as great! This recipe can be halved for a smaller batch.

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 cup cooked white chicken meat, diced or shredded (you can grill, broil, steam the chicken or use a rotisserie chicken)

  • If you're short on time, you can use a rotisserie chicken instead of cooking your own.
  • Be sure to chop the celery and onion finely so that they don't overpower the other ingredients.
  • Use a good quality mayonnaise, as it will make a big difference in the taste of the salad.
  • Season the salad to taste with salt and pepper.
