Great recipe but try adding horse radish, garlic and diced Jalapenos to the sauce. I also add diced red pepper and diced Braeburn apple with the chicken. It is absolutely the best chicken salad you will ever try. I have made this for parties and business events and it ALWAYS get raves. I call it "Captains Scrumptous Chunky Chicken Salad."

After reading the reviews, I used only 1 tsp of Kosher salt and glad I did. A bit salty to me even with 1 tsp. Also took the advice of others and added chopped almonds and apple--MUCH better!
Amen

to everything already said. PLEASE REDUCE SALT. I like salty food but based upon other comments reduced to 1/4 amount recommended and was happy.
Finally...

Finally a chicken salad with no frills. This is the straight forward taste and ingredients I have been looking for. IMO, this is the best Chicken Salad ever. I followed the recipe precisely with the omition of the tarragon or dill. It is perfect. Looking forward to lunch tomorrow!
Great recipe

Skip the poaching chicken part - I use the ready cooked chiken from Purdue and it is great. Use the scallions and dill and cut down the salt, serve on a croissant with avacado and you are all set. I get asked for this recipe every time I make it. Great for making ahead too.
awesome chicken salad

this is the best homemade chicken salad I have ever eaten. It has many different tastes in each bite, but it's in no way overwhelming or strong. Very nice!
simple and delicious!

instead of poaching the chicken i just cooked some tenderlions in a frying pan with a little garlic and onion powder and then added a little chicken broth. It was simple and it came out perfect!!
Very good! Mind the TYPE of salt you use, not the amount.

This was a great way to make use of my leftover roast. I didn't bother with the poaching (although I'm sure its lovely that way). NOTE TO ALL THOSE BOTHERED ABOUT THE SALT CONTENT: The recipe calls for KOSHER salt, not generic table salt, which is decidedly less salty than the latter. I suspect many folks used what they had on hand, and if using other than Kosher, you should reduce the salt amount as you will probably get a too-salty flavor. I generally use Kosher when cooking and I found that the recipe as it was written was lovely.
Best Ever!

I've made this chicken salad several times and everyone always raves about it. Now I get specific requests to bring this to every get together. I follow the directions exactly as written and it turns out perfectly every time. Don't skip the poaching process. It gives the chicken a great flavor, which you really need when the chicken is the main ingredient. I serve this with freshly baked yeast rolls. I cheat on this and buy frozen yeast rolls that haven't been baked. I make the chicken salad the night before, and then lay out the frozen yeast rolls to rise before going to bed. By morning, the rolls are ready to bake.
Excellent classic Chicken Salad

I had to search a bit to find a chicken salad that was just the standard classic we all know, as opposed to fancy versions with mangoes and stuff. This one is excellent. I followed the recipe exactly and found it well balanced. The ingredients melded well together without any one overwhelming it. I've found that just experimenting myself, I'll sometimes put too much or too little mayonnaise, or too much of something else. This recipe remedies that, just follow it. One warning, you might want a little less salt than it calls for. I liked this, but it is on the salty side.

The Best Chicken Salad

User: Shannon from Binghamton, NY User Rating:
I'm way too lazy to prepare the chicken, so I just use a store-bought rotisserie chicken. The dressing is so wonderful and it comes out perfect every time. My husband like it in wraps, I just eat it by itself.
Quick & Easy - great summer taste!

The salad takes a while because you have to boil the chicken. I used boneless chicken to speed up time, and it turned out great! Definitely eat this with avocado!

I skipped the poaching step. I marinated boneless skinless chicken breasts in extra virgin olive oil, lemon juice, kosher salt and thyme overnite. In the morning I grilled the chicken breasts and followed the rest of the recipe. By noon time I served this salad on croissants with fresh cantaloupe strawberries and grapes on the side, and what a hit! I received lots of compliments as they helped themselves to seconds and even thirds. This recipe is a keeper!!

GREAT RECIPE! We love this recipe, the salad is even better the next day. I did add some red grapes to the salad that gave it a wonderful sweetness. In regard to the salt - I did cut the salt in half because I used a rotisserie chicken which are loaded with sodium. If you poach the chicken per the recipe (especially if you use low sodium stock/broth) you should be fine with the amount of salt listed. I can't wait for more chicken leftovers so I can make this again!
Delicious!

Amazing chicken salad! My changes were that I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken (instead of the poached chicken), used 1 scallion (instead of 4), used 3/4 cup mayo (instead of the whole cup), and used 1 tsp. Kosher salt (instead of 2). Delicious after just a few hours of refrigeration, and equally tasty the next day.

I made this for lunch today. It was pretty good. I would definitely cut down on the amount of salt. It wasn't until I tasted it did I realize (and remembered from previous posts) that it was a bit too salty. Otherwise it was OK. I didn't have fresh dill so I used dried. I will try it again but add fresh dill (since I don't care for taragon). Will also add pineapple. It was good on croissant rolls.

I poached the chicken in regular chicken broth not the low sodium version, and I added 1 tsp. salt. This was way to salty but I could tell the taste of the chicken salad was excellent. Therefore I poached another 2 chicken breasts in just water and added it and more of the ingredients except for the salt....DELICIOUS!!!!
Delicious!

I've made chicken salad many different ways but this recipe seems to be the best. It was a little too salty, but otherwise it was a pretty tasty recipe. I added a little bit of the 'BAM' spice that I keep on hand and use in pretty much everything. Very good recipe. You won't be disappointed. (decrease salt amount)
Great recipe!

I've always been one to "wing it" on the chicken salad, but I'm glad I didn't. I had some canned chicken from Costco, so I used that instead. Served it up on some grilled Pugliese bread open faced with tomato slices on top. Yum!

I'm still suprised, but this really is an amazing chicken salad. I poached the chicken the night before just using chicken broth and parsley. Then I made the salad for dinner the next night. My husband, who doesn't usually like these mayo salad types raved about it. We used the dill and it has such a fresh taste to it. I highly recommend you try this. If you don't like your salads "saucy" like us just add the mayo mix a bit at a time till you reach the consistency you like.
