Classic Chicken Salad
Perfect simple chicken salad, ready to be tucked into a wrap, rolls, croissant, or eaten with crackers.
Servings
Ingredients
- 4 cups cooked, shredded or chopped chicken breasts 16oz, rotisserie chicken is my go-to!

- ¾ cup mayonnaise I use Best Foods/Hellmann's
- ¼ cup sour cream I prefer full fat
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 3-4 cracks black pepper
- ½ cup grapes, optional cut in half, more to taste if desired
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl large enough for all your chicken salad, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, onion, parsley, pepper. Whisk until smooth.
- Add chicken, celery, and onion, and gently toss to combine. Cover and chill for at least one hour (longer if time allows) for best results.
- Add grapes before serving, and nuts if using. and toss to combine.
- Serve plain, or with crackers, or on bread, rolls, etc.
Notes
TIP: The brand of mayo will impact the flavor of this chicken salad. I created it with Best Foods (Hellmanns) so that's my preference. Different Mayo brands have different amounts of vinegar and sugar in them so depending on which one you use, and what flavor you like, you can adjust the flavor of your finished chicken salad with very small additions of sugar and/or vinegar. I sometimes add 1/2 teaspoon or sugar or a few drops of white vinegar if I want to adjust depeneding on different mayo brands used.
