We’re kicking off the weekend with this delicious spin on our classic favorite: chicken salad. You can serve this on a fresh croissant, toasted bread with greens, or – our personal favorite way to enjoy this one – as a spread over savory crackers.

I used poached chicken breasts, but you can also skip that step and opt for a rotisserie chicken. The best part about this is that it’s literally a throw-everything-together-and-stir kind of recipe – perfect for summer evenings. Enjoy!

Here’s what you’ll need:

1 1/2 lbs chicken breasts, poached (or 1 rotisserie chicken – you may need to adjust how much mayo goes in)

1/2 tsp paprika

Pinch of garlic powder

Pinch of onion powder

1/4 c mayo

2 celery stalks, finely diced

2 slices of red onion, minced

4-5 sprigs of fresh dill

Pinch of sugar (at the end)

Juice of 1/2 a lemon

How to pull it all together:

Shred the chicken, then add in the celery stalks and red onion. Mix in the mayo along with the fresh dill. You can add more mayo until you’re happy with the consistency. Next, add in the paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Add a pinch of sugar to sweeten it a touch, then the juice of half of a lemon right before you serve. Cheers!
