Ingredients

Main Ingredients

6 chicken breasts (7 oz each), unseasoned
½ cup sweet relish
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
2 large boiled eggs, chopped
½ teaspoon salt
1 ½ cups mayonnaise

Instructions

Bake the Chicken: Preheat your oven and bake the unseasoned chicken breasts until fully cooked and juices run clear. This usually takes about 25-30 minutes at 375°F (190°C).

🔥 Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption.

Shred the Chicken: Once the chicken is cooled, shred it into bite-sized pieces, depending on your texture preference.

🥣 For easier shredding, you can use two forks or your hands (just be cautious of the temperature!).

Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded chicken, sweet relish, pepper, yellow mustard, chopped boiled eggs, salt, and mayonnaise. Stir until well-combined and creamy.

🌱 Feel free to adjust the mayo to your liking; add a bit more for a creamier texture or less for a lighter salad.

Chill: Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and to cool down.

🧊 This dish can be made a day in advance, making it perfect for meal prep or entertaining guests.

Variations

Crunchy Addition: Add chopped celery, red onion, or bell peppers for extra crunch and vibrant color. 🥒🌶️
Herbed Flavor: Incorporate fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or chives to enhance the flavor profile.
Spicy Twist: Mix in a dash of hot sauce or some diced jalapeños for a kick! 🔥
Low-Fat Option: Substitute regular mayonnaise with Greek yogurt or a low-fat mayo for a lighter version without sacrificing taste.

With its simple preparation and delicious flavor, this chicken salad will quickly become a staple in your recipe collection. Enjoy! 🥳🍽️
