Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: 2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Place the cooked, shredded chicken in a medium bowl.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, and honey until smooth. This creates your homemade honey mustard dressing.
  3. Pour the dressing over the chicken. Add the chopped celery and red onion.
  4. Gently fold all ingredients together until the chicken is evenly coated.
  5. Stir in the salt and pepper. If using, fold in the crumbled bacon.
  6. Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if needed.
  7. Serve immediately on bread, crackers, or over lettuce for a healthy chicken lunch.

Notes

  • For a gluten free chicken salad option, serve this filling in lettuce cups instead of bread.
  • You can make this salad ahead of time; cover and chill for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  • To make this a low carb chicken salad, skip any sweet additions like dried fruit and serve with avocado slices.
