Chick-fil-a Chicken Salad Recipe Copycat
The copycat Chick-fil-a chicken salad features chopped hard boiled eggs, which may bring up the "what came first the chicken or the egg" question for some.
Well, it could inspire an interesting dinner table conversation with the kids about that topic anyway.
Chopped celery, mayonnaise and relish are the primary dressing ingredients for the chopped chicken breasts.
The ingredients can quickly be chopped up in a food processor. A simple table top chopper would also make this recipe a breeze.
Make your kitchen chopping chores so much easier!

This looks so good! I love chicken salad, but no one else in my house enjoys it with me. 🙁 I have to agree with you that if we make things at home it will save us money.

This is one of my favorite menu items at Chick-fil-A - although that's why I eat them there because my family doesn't like chicken salad. You gotta eat it with waffle fries though, otherwise it's just a chicken salad sandwich not a copy cat, LOL 🙂
Robin Gagnon says
Waffle fries are my daughter's fave.

I am not a fan of chicken salad because of the mayo, but my mom loves it. Going to pass this on to her.

I worked for CFA. This recipe is accurate but you should add nutmeg to make it exact.

This chicken salad was amazing! I modified it a bit. A little less mayo just because we're not into too much mayo and I added a little onion powder. Just for others reference...I doubled it and was able to use a whole rotisserie chicken from Bj's.
Robin Gagnon says
We buy the rotisserie chickens there sometimes too. They are a great deal!
Doug says
Great recipe. This is a weekly staple in our house.
Janine says
What can I use instead of relish? I do not have any
Robin Gagnon says
I would add a little chopped pickle if you have that.
