Absolutely delish. I added to the recipe a little garlic and apples. Reallllyyyy good.

My go to chicken salad recipe. I use canned chicken (2 large cans = 12 oz) for convenience.

In reply to Bri B..

I will definitely try this light chicken salad!! But for a hint about making chicken go further, simmer breasts or hind quarters (cheap!) In water with celery and onion. Remove chicken. Add egg noodles and one or two chicken bouillion cubes to broth, cook until a couple minutes before done, add salt and pepper, any other favorite herbs. Add back half of chicken in bite size pieces, cook 2 more minutes. You have great chicken and noodles. By itself or over mashed potatoes, it’s divine. I know, not diet food!)
Then make rest of your chicken into chicken salad or a chicken casserole. Two dinners on the cheap!

I wholeheartedly agree! Don’t change everything and then comment or rate. If we wanted anything different, we would not have chosen THIS.

Great way to use up left over chicken and very tasty!

I made this with canned chicken so I didn’t have high hopes. Surprise! Best chicken salad I’ve ever had. Added cranberries and pecans. Delicious! I’m glad it made a lot.

This is a great recipe! Poached the chicken and used some of the strained broth to stir back into the salad (side note: I’ve been poaching chicken per Gina’s directions for years and it comes out perfect, flavorful, and juicy every time. Always strain the broth and save for later in the week!) I made this last night knowing we’d be out in the sun all morning and would be hungry for lunch right when we got home. Wrapped 1/2 cup in lettuce for each serving and they were so refreshing for a summer Saturday lunch! Will keep leftovers for tomorrow and Monday’s lunches.

This is a great chicken salad, tastes just like restaurant style! I’ve made it twice and everybody has loved it! Super easy to whip up if you have precooked chicken on hand

My husband and I just love this receipe. I have made it several times and it is the best chicken salad I have every had. Very easy to make and it has become one that we will make often. Eat it as a sandwich or with other sides.
