Scrumptious Chicken Salad Sandwich

 

Scrumptious Chicken Salad Sandwich

 

Did you ever find a delicious menu item only to have it be discontinued when your taste buds scream for it?   This happened to me last fall when I went to Chick-Fil-A for their Scrumptious Chicken Salad Sandwich, they DISCONTINUED it because of low sales!!   When I was told this by the order taker, I didn’t know what to do except tell them how much I loved their Chicken Salad.  So he tells me to wait and he would be right back.  He comes back, hands me a card with the recipe for their delicious Chicken Salad!   Now I’ve heard of companies changing menu items but never heard of them sharing their recipes but I’m so glad Chick-Fil-A realized there are some that happen to love the Chicken Salad recipe.

So tonight’s dinner, I made the recipe and while I didn’t have the oat bread, the recipe was so easy to make and just as delicious as when I would order my Chicken Salad sandwich from Chick-Fil-A!!

 

 

4 Chick-Fil-A Chicken Breasts (original or grilled) cooled & cut into 1″ cubes

2.5 oz. celery (approximately 1.5 full stalks, washed, trimmed & cut into 1″ pieces)

1/3 cup of sweet pickle relish

1/2 cup of mayonnaise

2 hard-boiled eggs (cooled & peeled)

Using a food processor, mix chicken, celery, mayonnaise, and relish on low/medium for 5 seconds. Begin adding eggs 1 at a time and continue processing for up to 10 additional seconds or until the salad is chopped to desired consistency.  (Total food processing time needed is 10-15 seconds)

Yield: Approximately 3 cups

 

Since I’m the only one that likes this salad, I cut the recipe in half and it made enough for 2 sandwiches.  I now have dinner ready for tomorrow!

 

 

If you didn’t get a chance to try the Chicken Salad when it was available at Chick-Fil-A, give it a try now!  It’s quick, easy and delicious!!

Thanks Chick-Filet-A for sharing your Chicken Salad recipe that has been a part of your family and now it’s a part of my family!
