BEST CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE | easy & healthy

Chicken salad is a classic salad recipe with diced chicken, creamy mayonnaise, crisp celery, green onion, sweet grapes, and fresh herbs. But there's a little something extra in my version that makes it the ultimate chicken salad - tarragon!

This recipe is easy, healthy, bright, flavorful, and will make any summer meal a breeze. Give it a try!

Hi guys - hope you love this new recipe! It's easy, healthy, fresh and full of flavor. I've been eating it on repeat for the last several weeks! 😂 So how would you eat it? Straight out of the bowl, in a sandwich, or in a wrap? xo - Lisa

This looks so delicious! I think I would like it even better if I added some chopped up Honey Crisp Apples.

My daughter is learning to read and spell. She wanted to write you a message about this recipe: My name is autumn your chicken salad is so good 😊

[Kittyykatz]

OMG! This is by far the best chicken salad recipe. Since viewing the video I’ve made chicken salad at least 4 times. It’s fabulous!

Thank you so much for demonstrating how to perfectly poach chicken. The basis for salads, wraps, tacos, etc. The exact method really works - and at 72 years I finally learned how to do it. I wrote it down, because my memory isn't what it used to be. Your chicken salad recipe looks awesome. I have tarragon on my permanent shopping list. Thank you so much.

Listen okay when I tell you this recipe changed my life…it brings me so much joy that no matter how bad I am at everything else I can follow this recipe and it never fails to turn out fantastic. Everytime I eat any other chicken salad but this one there is just no comparison. Thank you Lisa!!

Love this delicious recipe. I love celery but for non-celery lovers who still like the crunch, I soak celery in a bit of lemon juice for a couple of hours. This retains the crunch and makes the celery taste sort of fruity.

My daughter & I had this for lunch today! We used Greek yogurt instead of the mayo & served it on lettuce leaves. So delish! Thank you so much for the recipe. We’re going to try your mayo recipe next. 😋

This is the best Chicken Salad I’ve ever had! I loved it so much, I started eating it out of bowl with my serving spoon, it almost didn’t make it to bread! Then, I made it following day for lunch! I normally share my white organic roasted chicken with my little dog, but this time he didn’t get as much as I usually give him as I was saving this for my 2nd round of this chicken salad! I didn’t have tarragon, but that Dijon mustard really gives this a kick! Those roasted almonds (I toasted them in a sauté pan), and with those grapes - OMG. Thank you so much Lisa for this recipe, and all your great recipes!

The toasted almonds - the grapes - the celery - the parsley and tarragon - YES! (I’ll grate an apple if I have no grapes) Have never poached with everything cold... will try next time. YUM

I just made chicken salad last week! I cooked my chicken in the slow cooker, used half plain nonfat yogurt and half mayonnaise, with walnuts instead of almonds. It was so good! Chicken salad is a nice break from tuna and seems a little classier if you want to share with guests. Love this version though. I'm definitely going to try it next time I'm making up a batch.

I've made this for the last two weeks for my work lunches. It is just so delicious. This is going to be a regular lunch go-to from now, especially when we get back to summer. It's winter here, so sometimes a salad is a bit hard to come at when it's cold outside!

[virginiawoolf]

I made a slightly modified version of this recipe (I hardly ever follow recipes exactly unless baking) and I have to say it was great! I used dried cherries instead of grapes and did a few other little modifications. Really nice!

[tammylee]

I made this today!!! It is the most scrumptious chicken salad I have ever tasted and believe me, that's saying a lot! I love chicken salad and this is my new favorite recipe!!! Thank you!!!

[simpsonsherri]

I just made this for dinner tonight & it was AMAZING! The best dinner we have had in weeks. Thank you! I used leftover chicken breasts instead of poached chicken & a diced apple instead of grapes.

I am cook at a senior living home. I made this recipe for the residents the other night. It was excellent. I was nervous that poaching the chicken with onion and parsley would make it taste like chicken soup, but it gave the chicken this great rich flavor.

[olfoogy]

I think this is my 3rd comment but I can't over emphasize how great this stuff is thank you I made it exactly like you described

[VeeLondon]

I tried this... Though I used skinless chicken thighs as on the bone it’s way more flavourful. Plus I find poached chicken breast to dry. I also used more seasoning. I skimmed the froth off the top. And froze the poached water and used it on Sunday to make gravy for Sunday dinner. It was absolutely delicious. The chicken thighs a more juicy cut of chicken made a phenomenal chicken salad.. Minus the almonds 🙃

[sigtorres]

This is what I was looking for. I saw a lot of boring ones but this is the one I was craving for. 😋 Thank you.
