Chick Fil A Chicken Salad (Copycat Recipe)
Copycat Chick Fil A chicken salad tastes just like the fast food favorite! These creamy, savory but slightly sweet chicken salad is super easy to make and makes for satisfying sandwiches and wraps.
Chick Fil A was my life force when my kids were little.
The number of times we went so the boys could play in the indoor playground and I could enjoy a minute or two of peace and quiet is countless.
And during their picky eater phases, I could always count on their nuggets and waffle fries.
Now, I love me a good chicken nugget but sometimes, especially in those days, I wanted to feel like a grown up.
So instead of joining them with chicken nuggets (I knew there’d be some leftover anyway!), I’d often order the chicken salad sandwich.
I don’t know if it was just because of the momentary peace and quiet, but that chicken salad sandwich always hit the spot with its tender chicken, crunchy celery bits, sweet relish, and rich hard boiled eggs.
When it was discontinued, my heart broke a little.
But I mended it with this copycat Chick Fil A chicken salad recipe.
And if you feel the same, maybe this recipe will heal your broken, chicken salad-less heart too.
