Chick-fil-a Chicken Salad Recipe Copycat
The copycat Chick-fil-a chicken salad features chopped boiled eggs, which may bring up the “what came first the chicken or the egg” question for some.

Chopped celery, mayonnaise and relish are the primary dressing ingredients for the chicken salad.
The ingredients can quickly be chopped up in a food processor. A simple table top chopper would also make this recipe a breeze.

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.
