Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
  • 1 cup dill pickles, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
  • 1/4 cup celery, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Place the shredded chicken in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Finely chop the dill pickles, celery, and red onion. Add them to the bowl with the chicken.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, dill pickle juice, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and salt until smooth. This creates your creamy, tangy dressing.
  4. Pour the dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture.
  5. Add the fresh chopped dill.
  6. Gently fold all ingredients together until everything is evenly coated. Do not overmix.
  7. Taste the salad and adjust salt or pickle juice if needed for your preferred tanginess.
  8. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to let the flavors combine. This is great for sandwiches, wraps, or crackers.

Notes

  • Use leftover rotisserie chicken for the fastest preparation time.
  • For a low-carb option, serve this chicken salad in lettuce cups instead of bread.
  • If you prefer a richer flavor, substitute all the Greek yogurt with mayonnaise.
  • You can make this ahead of time; it stores well in the refrigerator for up to four days, making it excellent for meal prep.
