Description

3-Ingredient Chicken Salad is a comfort food classic. Made with simple ingredients - flavored mayo, rotisserie chicken and fresh dill, it's the perfect combination of ease and deliciousness. 


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (16 ounces) cooked chicken breast *
  • 1/2 cup garlic aioli mayonnaise  + extra to taste *
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill


Instructions

  1. On a large cutting board, dice chicken into large chunks. Top the diced chicken with garlic aioli mayonnaise and dill. 
  2. Use a large chef's knife and rubber spatula to chop/mix ingredients until you get the perfect consistency. I sometimes add 1-2 tablespoons of additional aioli mayonnaise if needed. 
  3. Taste test your chicken salad and season as needed with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving bowl and refrigerate for up to 4 days or serve immediately. 
  4. Taste test the chicken salad, and add addition aioli mayo if needed. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Notes

Rotisserie chicken is my go-to for this recipe

I typically add 1-2 additional tablespoons of garlic aioli mayonnaise and about 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper

I recommend Primal Kitchen Garlic Aioli Mayonnaise, it can be found at most grocery stores. As a budget/easier to find option, Hellman's has a version of this sauce as well.
