If you love pickles as much as I do, this chicken salad will quickly become a favorite in your kitchen. It has the perfect crunch from chopped pickles and a wonderful savory flavor that keeps everyone coming back for another scoop.

This is such a simple dish to whip up when you have some leftover chicken in the fridge. For the best results, use a high quality mayonnaise and make sure your pickles are nice and crisp.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup dill pickles, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon pickle juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place your cooked chicken into a large mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Add the mayonnaise, chopped pickles, fresh dill, pickle juice, and garlic powder to the bowl with the chicken.

  3. 3

    Stir everything together until the chicken is well coated in the creamy dressing.

  4. 4

    Taste the salad and add salt and black pepper as needed.

  5. 5

    Cover the bowl and let the mixture sit in the refrigerator for at least thirty minutes before serving to help the flavors meld together.

💡 Tips

You can serve this salad inside crunchy lettuce cups for a light meal or pile it onto toasted bread for a hearty sandwich. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
