Today, I’m gonna show you how to make a banging chicken salad. I wanted something tasty and easy, so I whipped up this chicken salad with eggs and pickle relish. It was a bit of an experiment, but it turned out great!
Getting Started
First, I grabbed some leftover cooked chicken from the fridge. It was from a roast chicken I made a couple of days ago. I pulled the meat off the bones and shredded it up. You can use any cooked chicken you have on hand.
Next, I boiled some eggs. I like my eggs to be hard-boiled for chicken salad, so I cooked them for about 10 minutes. Once they were done, I cooled them down in some ice water, peeled them, and chopped them up into little bits.
Mixing It Up
Now for the fun part – putting it all together! I threw the shredded chicken and chopped eggs into a big bowl. Then, I added a good dollop of mayonnaise. I don’t really measure, I just eyeball it until it looks about right.
Next, I scooped in some sweet pickle relish. This is what gives the salad that extra bit of zing. Again, I didn’t measure, but I probably added about a quarter cup or so.
- Added some salt and pepper to taste.
- Gave everything a good stir until it was all mixed together.
The Taste Test
I grabbed a spoon and took a big bite. Man, it was good! The chicken was juicy, the eggs added a nice creamy texture, and the pickle relish gave it a sweet and tangy flavor. It was exactly what I was craving.
Serving It Up
You can eat this chicken salad on its own, or you can make a sandwich out of it. I toasted some bread, slapped some chicken salad on it, and added some lettuce and tomato. It was a perfect lunch.
This chicken salad is super easy to make, and it’s a great way to use up leftover chicken. I definitely recommend giving it a try!
