diced chicken, Miracle Whip, salt, pepper, chopped hard boiled eggs, sweet pickle relish, diced onions. Also will change out the chicken with tuna. Good either way.

Boston, try mayonnaise instead of Miracle Whip.
I use Vegannaise but used to always use Hellman's. I can't tell the difference.
Miracle Whip, on the other hand, is sweet.

kenobum

I use either poached chicken breast or canned chicken works if drained well.
A container of lemon yogurt and an equal amount of Hellman's mayo.
A couple stalks of celery chopped, Craisins chopped coarsely, salt and pepper to taste.
Chopped Walnuts . A couple Green onion optional

One of the "cardinal" rules of chicken salad is one we learned at church years ago: the total amount of other ingredients should never be larger than the amount of finely chopped/shredded chicken. Of course, using only chicken breasts in chicken salad is supposed a Southern thing, but we like it. I always use sweet pickle relish, some sweet onion, celery (including the leaves), boiled egg, and a few halved grapes and a handful of pecans or walnuts. I blend with Miracle Whip -- the regular, not the "lite" -- and mix well. It's good on bread, toast, crackers, or sitting daintily inside a hollowed out tomato. I, too, am getting hungry just thinking about all this, and I think I have some chicken breasts in the freezer!
