Chicken Salad

January 24, 2023 by Meal Prep Mondays Leave a Comment

Skip to Recipe Jump to Video Print Recipe

This is a popular chicken salad recipe that is easy to make and super flavorful!

There's nothing quite as versatile as a rotisserie chicken. We love using one for this healthy meal prep recipe, but any leftover chicken you have on hand works great in chicken salad. (Or, heck, turkey for that matter!)It's a great healthy meal prep recipe that works well for lunches during the week.

The ingredients are ones you may have on hand, in the form of the nuts, mustard, and mayo. Don't skip the nuts; they add a lot of crunch and even more protein to make this chicken salad extra nutritious.

Chicken Salad Ingredients

  • 1 pound shredded chicken
  • 1 celery stalk, diced
  • ½ red onion, diced
  • ⅓ cup walnuts
  • ¼ cup cilantro
  • ⅓ cup mayo
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard

How to Make Chicken Salad

This is a simple case of chop, chop, chop, and assemble all in one big bowl. It's that easy.

How to Store Chicken Salad

This meal prep will keep for 4 to 5 days in the fridge, as long as it's in a sealed container. We don't recommend freezing chicken salad. Mayo just doesn't freeze well.

How to Serve

There's nothing better than a good chicken salad sandwich, maybe on toasted wheat or multigrain bread. Or if you don't want soggy bread and you're taking this with you for lunch, serve it with crackers. It's also great spread on toasted bread or stuffed inside a whole wheat pita. Or feel free to eat it as is, because it's just that good.

Substitutions and Variations

We love walnuts and cilantro, but you can also use almonds or pecans. Pistachios are a nice twist. Parsley works well with any of those nuts if you don't like cilantro or someone in your family doesn't. We get it—it can be a polarizing herb!
