Chicken Salad is a crave worthy snack, salad, sandwich, or side. We love to make this quick and easy recipe each week and save the leftovers. It's extra delicious piled on a croissant for the ultimate lunch or dinner. Step by step photos can be seen below the recipe card.

Notes

  • Instead of sandwiches, serve this chicken salad with crackers or on top of salad.
  • Because the chicken salad contains mayo, keep it refrigerated and don't leave it at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
  • Rotisserie or leftover roasted chicken is great for this recipe. You can also cook up a couple of breasts to use. Check out my Instant Pot Shredded Chicken recipe that can be used in this.
Storage: Store chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
