This copycat Chik-fil-A chicken salad recipe is incredibly easy to make, and your family will love it. The sweet pickle relish gives its signature taste. I like to use a thick crusty oat bread. —Julie Peterson, Crofton, Maryland

Ingredients

1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise
1/3 cup sweet pickle relish
1/3 cup finely chopped celery
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 hard-boiled large egg, cooled and minced
2 cups chopped cooked chicken breast
4 slices whole wheat bread, toasted
2 romaine leaves

Directions

Mix first seven ingredients; stir in chicken. Line two slices of toast with lettuce. Top with chicken salad and remaining toast.

Test Kitchen tips

Double the chicken mixture for lunch during the week—use as a sandwich filling, serve over salad greens or spread it on crackers.

If you’re cooking your own bird for this recipe, you'll need roughly half a pound of raw chicken for every cup of cooked chopped breast meat.

Very tasty and easy. I love Chic-Fil-A and their chicken salad and since we don't have a restaurant close by, I can make this at home!
