Make this tangy, high-protein Dill Pickle Chicken Salad in under 15 minutes. It uses simple ingredients and requires no cooking, making it a perfect quick lunch or meal prep option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken breast (leftover rotisserie chicken works well)
  • 1 cup dill pickle chips, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup finely diced red onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice (reserved from the jar)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Place the shredded chicken, chopped dill pickles, and diced red onion into a medium mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, reserved dill pickle juice, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder until the dressing is smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the dressing mixture over the chicken and pickle mixture.
  4. Fold all ingredients together gently until the chicken is evenly coated. Do not overmix.
  5. Stir in the fresh chopped dill.
  6. Taste the salad and add salt and pepper as needed. If you prefer more tang, add another splash of pickle juice.
  7. Cover the bowl and chill the chicken salad for at least 15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to combine.

Notes

  • For a low-carb option, serve this salad in crisp lettuce cups or butter lettuce wraps.
  • This recipe is excellent for meal prep; store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • If you do not have Greek yogurt, substitute it with an equal amount of mayonnaise for a richer texture.
