This is the only chicken salad recipe you’ll ever need. If you’re makinghomemade chicken stock, it’s the perfect way to use some of the resulting tender, juicy chicken and give yourself a little bite to eat while you cook. It’s super creamy but doesn’t have any dairy thanks to a special, secret ingredient. If you’re just craving chicken salad, feel free to swap out the chicken with rotisserie or leftover chicken or make thisdilly chicken salad instead.
