Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 3 cups chicken cooked, shredded
- 1 ¼ cups dill pickles chopped
- ¼ cup red onion diced
- ¼ cup celery diced
- 3 tablespoons mayo
- ¼ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the shredded chicken, pickles, onion, and celery.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayo, sour cream, mustard, dill, and spices. Mix to combine.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. This is the time to add the hot sauce if you want to.
- Pour dressing over the chicken mixture and gently fold to combine.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors mix.
- Serve on crackers, lettuce cups, sandwich bread, croissants, crostini, etc.
Notes
- Chop chicken, veggies, and pickles into small, even pieces for easier eating.
- Use rotisserie chicken for more flavor and to save time. Costco chickens are perfect!
- Make at least 1 day ahead so the pickle flavor really melds with the chicken.
- Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving. The flavors get so much better!
- Add a splash of pickle juice if it seems dry. Adds moisture and extra pickle flavor.
- Adjust seasoning after mixing. Depending on how your chicken was cooked, you might need more salt and pepper.
- Use fresh dill if you can. It makes such a difference! Dried works but use half the amount.
- Servings vary based on how you serve it. You'll need more for wraps than for crackers.
