Yuck.
And I’m one of the chicken salad lovers! But this? Blasphemy.

My best chicken salad recipe
-boneless chicken breasts in Instant Pot- rec searing on Saute if using fresh chicken
- add chicken broth to about 1/3rd of the depth
- add: garlic, cumin, oregano, ancho, red pepper flakes, chopped onions, cayenne pepper, salt
-manual for 12 mins - 16 if frozen
- shred and serve on warm tortillas with fresh cilantro and a wedge of lime

Yes I always poached mine too.
Ok. Are all you chicken salad enthusiasts really old? B.c I don't know anyone who poaches anything other than eggs. It seems like it went out in the 60s. At least sous vide, people!

Same. Makes it easier to shred. Not dice: SHRED.

It is hard for me to understand how people are judgmental about chicken salad. Would tuna and egg salad bring on the same level of critique? I like it no more or less than many other lunch foods, and mostly cannot believe there is now a 3 page thread debating it 😂.
Yes. So disgusting. And Deviled Eggs
My go-to dish last summer was ham salad.
Don’t fall over.
I think you either like mayonnaise-based salads, or you don't. I like these "salads" (which are not actually salads), while my spouse doesn't like any of them. I personally like the Napa almond chicken salad at Panera.
I hate mayo based salads: pasta salad, tuna salad, egg salad, etc. I won’t touch. But I love chicken salad. When I make mine, I use 3:1 Greek yogurt to
Mayo, then thin it out a little with milk or half and half. I think most chicken salad mixes aren’t 100% mayo
You can leave out the mayo all together.
I hope this thread goes on forever.
As a mayo-hater who does like fruit, how can we create a german-style (like potato salad) but for chicken? And make it not disgusting? Then add cranberries?
Easy. You can make chicken salad with evoo/vinegar, italian dressing, soy sauce, mustard, whatever! I personally like a 1:1 mix of mayo and dijon mustard but you could sub in evoo for the mayo.

What was that chicken chain on Rockville Pike and in Spring Valley? They used to have a chicken salad with apricots and sliced almonds. Yum!
