Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boiled chicken cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • ½ cup dill pickles chopped
  • ¼ cup red onion diced

Equipment

  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon or spatula

Method
 

  1. Start by boiling your chicken. Once cooked, allow it to cool before cutting it into bite-sized pieces.
  2. Dice the red onion and chop the dill pickles. Aim for uniform sizes to ensure even distribution in the salad.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the boiled chicken, mayonnaise, chopped dill pickles, and diced red onion.
  4. Using a spoon or spatula, gently mix all the ingredients together until the chicken is well-coated in the mayonnaise, and the pickles and onions are evenly mixed throughout.
  5. Taste your chicken salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add a pinch of salt or pepper to enhance the flavors further.
  6. For the best flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Make it ahead by preparing a day in advance for convenience.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Try Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter version.
