Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 cups chicken (cooked, chopped)
3 tablespoons onion (red or yellow; finely chopped)
1/4 cup celery (finely chopped)
1 large egg ( hard-boiled ; chopped)
1/3 to 1/2 cup mayonnaise (as needed to moisten the salad)
1 tablespoon dill pickle relish
1/4 teaspoon salt (or seasoned salt to taste)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)

Steps:

  • Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pan, and continue cooking for 8 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
  • Check the chicken breasts with a food thermometer to ensure they are done to at least 165 F. Let cool and chop.
  • Once you've cooked the chicken, gather all of the ingredients.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the cooked, chopped chicken, onion, celery, and egg. Stir to combine.
  • Add 1/3 cup of mayonnaise, the dill pickle relish, salt, and pepper to the chicken. Stir to blend well.

Tips:

  • Shred the chicken yourself. This will give you a more even texture than if you use pre-shredded chicken. You can use a food processor or a knife to shred the chicken.
  • Season the chicken salad well. This is a key step that will bring out the flavor of the chicken salad. Use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Add some crunch. This will help to balance out the creaminess of the chicken salad. You can add chopped celery, carrots, or almonds.
  • Serve the chicken salad on a variety of breads. This is a versatile dish that can be served on sandwiches, wraps, or crackers.

Conclusion:

Chicken salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.
