Chicken Salad Recipe

February 18, 2026

The chicken salad trend is all over my FYP, so of course I had to share my own recipe!  This recipe is quick and easy and tastes sooo good – my favorite thing about this recipe is that I make it with ingredients I always have in my fridge.  I love eating my chicken salad on Ritz Toasted Chips, but it’s also good on a homemade loaf of bread or even an english muffin!

The first thing I do is cook my chicken – I think the best way to cook chicken is in the crockpot.  It does take a little longer, but in my opinion you can’t beat the way the chicken comes out perfectly cooked every single time.  I usually cook on high for about 4 hours.  Once it’s fully cooked I let it cool and shred.  You could also boil or use canned chicken – this is just the best to me!

Then I chop my celery and onion super small – I use a food processor to mince each one.  Add the rest of the ingredients and mix!  I like to let mine sit in the fridge for a few hours to let it set and then enjoy!

2 chicken breasts – shredded

½ cup mayo
