Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Salad
- 4 cups cooked chicken breast, finely shredded
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon finely minced celery
- 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, add the finely shredded cooked chicken, mayonnaise, minced celery, ground white pepper, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir gently but thoroughly to blend all ingredients and create a creamy, smooth texture.
- Chill mixture: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 1 hour. This resting time allows the flavors to meld and the salad to firm up slightly for better serving consistency.
- Serve chilled: Once chilled, serve the chicken salad cold. It is delicious as a sandwich filling, wrapped in fresh lettuce leaves, or accompanied by your choice of crackers for a light and satisfying meal.
Notes
- Use freshly cooked or rotisserie chicken for the best flavor and texture.
- Shredding the chicken very finely is essential for achieving the classic texture of this salad.
- Adjust the amount of mayonnaise to suit your preferred creaminess and consistency.
