BLT Chicken Salad
Description
This salad recipe starts by simmering boneless, skinless chicken breasts in water until fully cooked, producing moist, easily shredded chicken. Bacon strips are cooked separately until crisp and chopped into bite-sized pieces for crunch and flavor contrast.
The dressing consists of mayonnaise mixed with chopped green onions and black pepper, adding creaminess and a mild sharpness. Combining all ingredients—shredded chicken, bacon, cherry tomatoes, and the dressing—creates a well-rounded salad with savory, smoky, and fresh elements throughout.
Ideal for a quick lunch or light dinner, BLT Chicken Salad can be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. It offers a familiar BLT taste in a refreshing, salad form that pairs well with breads or on its own.
