Ingredients

Chicken Salad Ingredients

  • 4 cups shredded or chopped cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken recommended)
  • 1 cup diced dill pickles
  • 1/3 cup sliced green onions

Dressing Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, very softened
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon dill pickle juice (from pickle jar, adjust to taste)
  • 3/4 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt or sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine chicken and vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded or chopped cooked chicken, diced dill pickles, and sliced green onions. Stir gently to distribute ingredients evenly and set aside.
  2. Prepare creamy dressing: In a separate smaller bowl, use an electric hand mixer or rubber spatula to beat the softened cream cheese until smooth and free of lumps. Add the mayonnaise, dill pickle juice, dried dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Continue mixing until all ingredients are well combined into a smooth dressing.
  3. Mix chicken with dressing: Pour the prepared creamy dressing over the chicken mixture in the large bowl. Stir well until all the chicken and vegetables are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Chill the salad: Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate the chicken salad for 1 to 2 hours to allow flavors to meld and the salad to chill thoroughly before serving.

Notes

  • Use rotisserie chicken for convenient, flavorful cooked chicken.
  • Ensure cream cheese is very softened for a smooth dressing without lumps.
  • Adjust dill pickle juice quantity to taste if you want a tangier salad.
  • Can be served chilled on sandwich bread, crackers, or over a bed of greens.
  • Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
