All-Time Favorite Chicken Salad

 


Ingredients:

-3 cups cooked diced chicken breasts, cold (A rotisserie works great!)
-1/2 cup diced celery (about 2 small stalks)
-1/3 cup chopped green onions (If desired, use red for a stronger onion flavor.)
-2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
-1/2 cup mayonnaise (Light mayonnaise can be substituted for a lighter option or substitute 1/4 cup of the mayo with plain Greek yogurt.) (I use Hellman's Mayo with Olive Oil.)
-1 tsp. dijon mustard
-3/4 tsp. lemon zest (I add a little more because I like a strong lemon flavor.)
-1 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice (I add a little more because I like a strong lemon flavor.)
-Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste 

Directions:

  • 1. Zest lemon into large mixing bowl.  Add chicken, and then pour lemon juice on top. 
    2. Add celery, green onions, parsley, mayonnaise, mustard, and season with salt and pepper to taste. 
    3. Serve immediately or chill in refrigerator for up to one additional day.
