There is something so comforting about a simple chicken salad sandwich. This recipe recreates that famous taste with the perfect blend of crunchy celery and savory chicken that makes for a quick and satisfying lunch.

My biggest tip for this recipe is to make sure your chicken is finely minced. It makes the texture much smoother and easier to spread on your favorite bread or scoop up with crackers.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast, finely minced
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup celery, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place your cooked and chilled chicken breast into a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Add the finely diced celery, mayonnaise, and sweet pickle relish to the bowl.

  3. 3

    Stir everything together until the ingredients are well combined and the chicken is evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Season the mixture with salt and pepper according to your taste preference.

  5. 5

    Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving so the flavors have time to blend.

💡 Tips

Serve this on a toasted bun with crisp green lettuce for a sandwich, or keep it low carb by scooping it into fresh butter lettuce cups. You can store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
