So if you’re looking for a simple meal or just want something outrageously tasty give this chicken salad recipe a try.

 

Ingredients

1 cup mayonnaise (I use low fat)

1⁄2 teaspoon salt

3⁄4 teaspoon poultry seasoning

1⁄4 teaspoon onion powder

1⁄4 teaspoon garlic powder

1⁄4 teaspoon ground black pepper

1 tablespoon lemon juice

3 cups chicken breasts, cook and diced

1⁄2 cup celery, finely chopped

1⁄2 cup chopped green onion

1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts (drained and chopped)

1 1⁄2 cups swiss cheese, diced

 

Instructions:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, salt, poultry seasoning, onion powder, garlic powder, pepper, and lemon juice.

In a large bowl, toss together the chicken, celery, green onions, water chestnuts, and swiss cheese. Add the mayonnaise mixture, and stir to coat. Chill until serving.

Quick tip: Pick up a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store, shred it up, and use three cups to make this recipe. Quicker and easier than cooking your own chicken if you’re short on time.
