We combine just a few simple but incredibly delicious ingredients to make this awesome dill pickle chicken salad!

This is a quick and easy salad to make and will be a huge hit every time you serve it!

Let’s talk about our chicken!

You have some great options for the chicken you can use to make this delicious salad. I bought a whole chicken, then boiled it and used ½ dark meat and ½ white meat to make my salad. The combination of light and dark meat brings amazing flavor to this dish. Alternatively, you can use chicken breasts and make this salad using only white meat. You can also use boneless chicken thighs and make this salad using all dark meat. Either of these options will change the nutritional value of the salad as white meat chicken is higher in protein and lower in fat than dark meat chicken. A wonderful quick and easy option to make this salad is to use rotisserie chicken. You can chop your chicken into diced pieces to create a nice chunky chicken salad, or you can shred your chicken if you’d like.

What other ingredients go into this dill pickle chicken salad?

To our chicken, we add just a few simple ingredients to complete this delicous chicken salad. We start by adding a cup of finely chopped dill pickles which brings amazing flavor to this dish. For crunchy elements, we add diced celery and diced onions. I used 2 medium celery stalks, but you can add even more if you’d like. For the onion, you can use a red or yellow onion. You can also choose how fine you dice your vegetables. I like to finely chop both my celery and onions to make this dish. But if you’d like, you can roughly chop your celery and onion. I like to think of this version as a rustic version of this chicken salad!😉Some other fun additions you could incorporate into this dish include diced red peppers, shredded carrots, or even diced cucumbers or radishes.
