Easy Chicken Salad
This easy chicken salad requires just a few simple ingredients. It’s packed with flavor and high in protein, making it perfect for lunch or a quick snack!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (12.5oz can)
- 1– 2 Tbsp mayonnaise (depends on preference)
- 1 tsp dried ground mustard
- 1 tsp paprika
- Optional mix-ins – chopped nuts/seeds, chopped apples, sliced grapes, dried cranberries, chopped celery or cucumbers
- Optional spices – dill curry powder, salt, ranch seasoning, everything but the bagel seasoning, cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup sliced green onions
Instructions
- Drain the canned chicken and place in a bowl and shred with a fork.
- Add mayonnaise. If you don’t know how much you want to use, start with 1 Tbsp, mix and add more if not creamy enough – (I use 2 Tbsp)
- Add spices and green onions (including any optional spices and mix-ins you’re using) and mix well. Taste and adjust seasonings
- Serve as desired – on sandwiches/sliders/wraps, as a dip, with crackers, stuffed in veggies etc.
- Store in the fridge.
Notes
Feel free to sub plain Greek yogurt, hummus or mashed avocado for mayo. I only use avocado if it will all be eaten right away or the avocado will turn brown.
