Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 crispy (original) chicken breasts - cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 grilled chicken breasts - cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 stalks celery - cut into 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1/3 cup sweet pickle relish
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise - (light or olive oil works fine)
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs
  • green leaf or butter leaf bib lettuce
  • wheatberry bread or honey wheatberry bread

Method
 

  1. Place the crispy chicken cubes, grilled chicken, chopped celery, mayonnaise, and sweet pickle relish into a large food processor.
  2. Pulse the mixture gently for about five seconds to combine the ingredients.
  3. Add the peeled hard-boiled eggs to the processor and blend with short pulses for 10 seconds, ensuring not to over-blend.
  4. Either serve the salad immediately or chill it in the refrigerator to let the flavors meld, up to three days.

Notes

  • Use store-bought frozen chicken breasts prepared per package instructions or purchase Chick-fil-A chicken breast filets. Make sure the chicken is fully cooled before processing (refrigerate at least one hour). Store the salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days; keep bread separate to maintain freshness. For longer storage, freeze the salad up to one month and thaw overnight before serving. Reheat gently if desired.
