Classic Chicken Salad

October 28, 2020

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Homemade Chicken Salad is a classic lunch or snack option. I love how easy it is to make and, it only requires a few healthy and wholesome ingredients. You can cook a chicken breast for this recipe or use leftover chicken from another recipe.

 I love to have chicken salad for a quick lunch on Saturday when I don’t feel like cooking but want something filling and easy. I love to have it with whole wheat crackers or with sliced bell peppers and broccoli sprouts for a healthier option. Or you could make it a sandwich for lunch on the go!

How to Make Classic Chicken Salad

Start by shredding the chicken breast with two forks or a stand mixer using the whisk attachment, then add to a large bowl.

Add the chopped celery, red onion, mayo, salt and pepper, and the juice of half a lemon. 

Taste and adjust seasoning, if necessary. 

Serve with your favorite crackers or veggies! Enjoy!
