How to Make Artichoke Chicken Salad

  1. Cook rice-a-roni according to package directions. Fluff with a fork and let cool completely. (This can be done the day before to save time.)
  2. Finely chop 1/2 cup green onions and 1/2 cup green bell pepper. Slice 1/2 cup Kalamata olives.
  3. Cook 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Dice into 1-inch cubes once cooled.
  4. Drain and chop 1 (14-ounce) can of artichoke hearts. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the marinade.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup mayonnaise and the reserved artichoke marinade until smooth.
  6. Add the cooled rice-a-roni, chopped chicken, green onions, green peppers, olives, and artichoke hearts to the bowl.
  7. Gently toss until everything is well combined.
  8. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
  9. (Optional) Grill chicken breasts separately for a heartier dinner option.
