Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

2 cups chopped cooked chicken (cooled)
1/3 cup chopped celery
1/4 - 1/3 cup sweet pickle relish
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1 - 2 hard boiled eggs (chopped)
1/2 tsp kosher salt

Steps:

In a food processor, add chicken, celery, relish, mayo, eggs, salt and pepper. Lightly pulse a several times, until mixture reaches desired consistency.
If you want to make sure you don't end up with overly mushy chicken salad, you may want to add celery first, then pulse a few times to finely chop. Then add chicken and pulse a few times. Then add relish, mayo, eggs and seasonings and pulse until combined.
Toast bread slices. Serve chicken salad on toasted bread, topped with lettuce, then the other bread slice. Repeat with remaining bread slices, lettuce and chicken salad.

I love Chick-Fil-A!!! I found this recipe clone online after many hours of searching countless boards and forums... I think this recipe is pretty close in taste to their famous salad... I have made some modifications to fit our tastes... hope you will enjoy this as much as we do. This really helps my craving because it is so easy to prepare and much cheaper!!! It is also very tasty and pretty served in a lettuce cup with some crackers.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use high-quality chicken. Look for chicken that is free-range and organic, if possible.
Make sure to cook the chicken thoroughly. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
If you are using a store-bought rotisserie chicken, be sure to remove the skin and bones before shredding the chicken.
Use a variety of fresh vegetables in your salad. This will add flavor, color, and nutrients.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. A simple vinaigrette or mayonnaise-based dressing is a good place to start.
Serve the chicken salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
