My Go To Chicken Salad







The other week our local Publix had boneless skinless chicken breasts on sale so I bought two packages of them. Sometimes I like to take a break from cooking on the weekends and just prepare some stuff that is easy and all you have to do is put it together. I boiled some of the chicken and chopped it up and made 4 cups of chicken for this recipe. You can half it. I made enough for the weekend as someone likes to have 2 sandwiches when he eats....we won't say who though lol. You can serve this on any kind of bread. Even on a bed lettuce.

Ingredients

4 cups of cooked chopped up chicken. ( I actually shredded the chicken by hand into small pieces )
1/2 cup or more of minced celery which I even included some of the leaves.
1/4 cup of sweet relish
1 tsp of lemon juice
1 cup of mayo
1/2 tsp of onion powder
1/4 tsp of salt, garlic powder, sugar and black pepper


Mix ingredients. Cover and let chill for about 2 hours and serve on toasted Texas toast.

  1. Hi Debi...so glad you posted today with this wonderfulk Chicken Salad. The picture sure caught my eye with that thick piece of toasted bread and healthy looking chicken salad. I'm making a fresh loaf of GF Bread in the morning and wanted to talk about my recipe and how good it is for sandwiches.

    I also wanted to feature one of my New Fuel My Blog Foodies. I think YOU and your chicken salad would be perfect. I will Link this page and talk about your blog and a bit about you from your ABOUT ME profile.

    I hope this is agreeable with you. I'll do the post sometime early next week and will give you a shout out! Hope you will have a chance to stop by CollectInTexas Gal for a visit and see 'Debbi Cooks' on my Foodie Blog List...Sue

  2. That would be great and thank you very much. I received for Christmas a new small food processor ( Ninja )and I have been using that to chop up the celery in small pieces and it comes out great for this chicken salad. You can basically use any type of bread you want. During the week I am going to try posting some wing recipes because the Super Bowl is next weekend. GO GIANTS!
