Cooked chicken: Leftover roast chicken, poached chicken breasts or rotisserie chicken all work. Bread: I used a whole ciabatta but baguette, sourdough or a country loaf are good options too. Mayonnaise. I like using two types of mayo for chicken salad. Fluffier mayo like Helmann’s as well as a tangier, version. Kewpie mayo is also delicious in this recipe. Greek yogurt / Sour cream. Lemon juice. Fresh avocado. Lettuce. Salt and pepper.
How to make chicken salad
How long does chicken salad last?
Chicken salad will last for 3-4 days if kept covered in the fridge. I wouldn’t recommend freezing it as the mayonnaise can split once thawed.
What can I add to chicken salad?
For added texture and flavor, any of the following mix-ins can be added. Simply dice them finely and add to the chicken salad.
Onion / Spring onion. Celery. Apple. Fennel. Grapes. Almonds.
