Copycat Chick Fil A Chicken Salad
A creamy and crunchy chicken salad that tastes just like the classic version you know and love.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so comforting about a simple chicken salad sandwich. This recipe recreates that famous flavor from Chick Fil A using ingredients you likely have in your kitchen right now. It is perfect for a quick lunch or a picnic on a sunny day.
My best tip for this recipe is to use a high quality mayonnaise for the best texture. If you have time, let the salad sit in the fridge for an hour before serving so the flavors have a chance to meld together.
