Ingredients for Atlanta Bread Chicken Salad

How to Make Atlanta Bread Chicken Salad

  1. Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill 3 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts until cooked through (about 6-8 minutes per side). Let cool slightly, then shred or chop into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups mayonnaise, 1/2 cup finely chopped celery, 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Add the shredded chicken to the mayonnaise mixture and gently stir to combine.
  4. Add 1 cup of your favorite bread, cubed (croissants, sourdough, etc), and stir to combine.
  5. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve on bread, crackers, or lettuce cups.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
