This isn't necessarily the *best*, but it's good, and quick...


One big can of white meat chicken, garlic and chive philadelphia brand cream cheese, (enough to give it the consistency you like - about 1 tub), about two tablespoons of mayonnaise, diced onions and celery to taste.


Sounds gross, I know, but it is de-lish.

Mmmm chicken salad..healthy and yummy :)





When I make my chicken salad I just put about 2 cups of lettuce in a bowl with these chicken strips that I buy from costco.. their like chile%26amp;lime or something, and then I put a little bit of ranch dressing on top.
Get a jar of garlic curry from an Indian market or a good ethnic section at the grocery store and mix it with a little mayo and the chicken and maybe some frozen peas, chopped bell pepper, onion, celery and carrot. Makes good lettuce wraps.





Or do them same but skip the curry and just use a little rotisserie seasoning for a traditional chicken salad.
I love mine w/ grapes (cut in 1/2, so you can stab them with a fork), toasted almonds, and some dill. Yummy!! And use a sweet onion, or a red onion... oh, and before you cook the chicken, try marinating it in italian dressing, or oil and a bit of balsalmic vinger, and some other spices tossed in for good measure!
