Jul 06, 2024 12:41 PM
The best-ever Chicken Salad recipe, perfect for lunch, on-the-go, or hosting! It’s the ultimate make-ahead meal that gets more flavorful with time!
I’m a total Chicken Salad lover, and I think this is the best recipe out there. I’ve tried so many, and this one always wins. It’s the best! I’m so excited to share it today.
A few reasons I love chicken salad:
Party Hit: Make a big batch, pop it on mini croissants, and watch it steal the show!
Outdoor Fun: Perfect for picnics or camping. Just toss it in a cooler with some bread. So much better than a soggy PB&J!
Super Easy: Quick to make and tastes amazing.
Gets Better: Let it chill—the flavors get even better. The perfect make-ahead meal!
Ingredients:
Salad
- 2 cups prepared rotisserie chicken, diced

Enjoy with
