- 1/4 cup of washed and sliced celery contributing a refreshing and crisp texture that provides a subtle hint of freshness.
- Garlic powder to taste infusing a savory and aromatic essence that adds depth and a touch of umami to the dish.
- 1/2 tablespoon of fresh parsley adding a touch of herbal brightness and a subtle earthy note that enhances the overall flavor profile.
- 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese creating a rich and cheesy layer that melts into the salad, adding a creamy and indulgent flavor.
- 2 cups of cooked chicken ( tender and succulent) , providing a protein-packed base that adds a satisfying and savory element to the salad.
- 1/4 cup of chopped green onions lending a fresh and vibrant taste that brings a mild oniony flavor and a pop of color to the dish.
- Salt to taste allowing you to season the salad to your preferred level of saltiness, enhancing the flavors and bringing out the natural taste of the ingredients.
- Pepper to taste providing a mild and warming heat that adds a hint of spice and complements the other flavors in the salad.
Dressing Ingredients:
- 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice providing a bright and citrusy zing that balances the creaminess of the dressing and adds a refreshing twist to the overall flavor.
- 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing adding a classic and flavorful blend of herbs and spices that brings a creamy and tangy element to the dressing.
- 1 1/2 tablespoons of sour cream contributing a creamy and tangy note that adds richness and a velvety texture to the dressing.
- 3/8 cup of creamy and velvety mayonnaise creating a rich and smooth base that adds a luscious texture and a mild tanginess to the dressing.
Instructions
- To a medium bowl, finely dice the cooked chicken into cubes. Add in the cheddar cheese, chopped parsley, sliced green onions, diced celery, and bacon bits to the bowl—season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste according to your preference.
- Gently toss all ingredients until combined then set aside. Create a creamy dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, and ranch dressing in a small bowl.
- Drizzle the dressing over the chicken salad mix and fold with a spatula until everything is evenly coated. Serve chilled or at room temperature alongside crackers or toast points for an unforgettable dish.
Notes
- I recommend using one or two large chicken breasts or thighs for the best results when cooking chicken for this recipe. Cook them in a hot pan with olive oil until golden brown and cooked through.
- Season the salad with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. This will help bring out all of the flavors in this dish.
- If you’re serving this salad with crackers, get some good quality ones that are not too salty or greasy. This will help balance out the flavors in the dish.
