Here’s a simple and delicious chicken salad recipe you can make every week:
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced (rotisserie chicken works great)
1/2 cup mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt for a lighter version)
1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional: 1/4 cup grapes (halved) or 1/4 cup chopped apples for sweetness
Optional garnish: chopped parsley or a sprinkle of paprika
Instructions:
Cook or prep chicken – Shred or dice cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces.
Mix dressing – In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper.
Add veggies & chicken – Stir in celery, red onion, and chicken until everything is coated. Add grapes or apples if using.
Chill (optional) – Refrigerate for 30 minutes to let flavors meld, but you can eat it right away too.
Serve – On a bed of lettuce, in a sandwich, or in a wrap.
💡 Tip: Make a big batch at the start of the week and store it in an airtight container in the fridge—it lasts 3–4 days.
If you want, I can also give you a creamy, sweet version that tastes like it’s from a deli—perfect for eating multiple days in a row. Do you want me to do that?
