Simple Homemade Chicken Salad

Rate this Recipe


Ingredients:

1 lb Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts, cooked and cubed
16 oz Large Ring Pasta
1 Cup Finely Chopped Celery, plus more to taste
1 1/2 Cups Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip, choose which one based on your taste preferences
1/4 Cup Western Dressing or 2-3 Tbsp Dijon Mustard, choose which one based on your taste preferences
1 Tsp Salt, plus more to taste
1/2 Tsp Black Pepper, plus more to taste
1 Cup Dried Cranberries or Golden Raisins (or a combination of both), optional, plus more to taste

Directions:

  1. Chop the chicken and celery. Set aside.
  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water. You want the noodles to be completely cooled.
  3. Add the noodles, chicken, celery, and cranberries (optional) to a large mixing bowl. Stir to combine. Set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, dressing, salt, and pepper. Taste and add additional salt or pepper, if needed.
  5. Add the dressing to the chicken salad and stir to coat.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least one hour prior to serving. The noodles will absorb some of the dressing and flavors.
  7. Serve chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy!
