Notes

Nikki's Tips
  • Start with flavorful chicken to begin with. I usually use a flavored rotisserie for easy cooking, or make sure my chicken is seasoned nicely when cooking. 
  • If you like the chicken finely chopped, pulse it in a food processor until you get your desired consistency, then mix in the mayo and seasonings.
  • Start with less mayonnaise and then add more to taste. I usually use all of the listed ingredients, but if you prefer less mayo, start with ¾ cup and add a tablespoon at a time to taste.
  • The ranch seasoning is optional, but if you like Chicken Salad Chick's Fancy Nancy chicken salad, you will like this addition. It doesn't make the chicken salad taste like ranch, but it gives it a delicious flavor. Adjust this amount to your taste. They also add chopped apples, use about ¾ cup of diced apples. Adjust mayo if needed to taste.
  • Remember, the flavors will develop as this sits in the refrigerator.
  • Pick nice, firm grapes for extra crunch. Red or Green Seedless grapes are both delicious.
