Million Dollar Chicken Salad
Description
This chicken salad features a variety of textures and flavors: tender chicken provides the base, crisp celery and toasted almonds add crunch, while sharp cheddar cheese and bacon bring savory depth. The mixture is bound by mayonnaise and sour cream, giving creaminess and moisture without overpowering the other ingredients. Green onions contribute a mild onion flavor, enhancing balance.
The salad is versatile and can be served on toast, in avocado boats, lettuce wraps, or alongside crackers for a light meal or snack. The combination of ingredients creates a layered flavor and texture profile that elevates simple chicken salad beyond the ordinary, appealing to those who appreciate both creaminess and crunch.
Ingredients
- 3 Cups chicken shredded or cubed (I like rotisserie)
- 1 Cup celery finely chopped
- 1 Cup cheddar cheese shredded, sharp
- ½ Cup Bacon crumbled, crispy
- ½ Cup almond toasted; slivered
- ½ Cup mayonnaise
- ¼ Cup sour cream
- 3 green onions sliced
- salt to taste (about 1/4-1/2 tsp each
- black pepper to taste (about 1/4-1/2 tsp each
Instructions
- Place the chicken, celery, onions, bacon, almonds, and cheese in a large bowl and top with the mayonnaise and sour cream.
- Mix well until everything is evenly coated and distributed throughout.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. I usually use between ½-1 tsp of each.
- Serve on toast, in an avocado, tomato, in a lettuce wrap, with crackers or your favorite way to eat chicken salad.
- ENJOY!
