This Chunky Chicken Salad Recipe is another take on everybody's favorite chicken salad. It's great as a sandwich or on a bed of lettuce.
If you are a fan of dill pickles instead of the sweet pickle relish usually found in chicken salad, this recipe calls for 2 whole dill pickles. If you want even more, go for it!
The color contrast of the red onions in this recipe goes especially well on toasted rye.
1 boneless skinless chicken breast, cooked and chopped
2 stalks celery, split lengthwise and dices
2 whole dill pickles, diced
1/2 small red onion, finely diced
3 tablespoons mayonnaise, regular or light
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
Whisk together the mayonnaise with the diced red onion, diced dill pickles, garlic powder and the salt and pepper.
Fold in the cooked chicken and diced celery with the mayonnaise mixture and combine all ingredients well.
