Chicken Salad

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cooked chicken
  • 2/3 cup diced dill pickles
  • 1/4 cup minced red onion
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons sweet pickle relish

  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon dried chives
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Ensure your chicken is fully cooked and shredded into bite-sized pieces. You can use leftover roasted chicken or poached chicken breast for best results.

  4. Mix Dressing with Chicken: Pour the prepared dressing over the chicken mixture. Add freshly chopped parsley and gently fold everything together ensuring the chicken is well coated with the creamy dressing.
  5. Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together perfectly.
  6. Serve: Serve the savory dill pickle chicken salad chilled on croissants, toast, or with crackers as a tasty snack or light meal.
