Best Chicken Salad With Grapes Recipe

Chicken salad is one of my all-time favorite quick and easy lunch recipes. I love mixing in grapes because they offer little bursts of sweetness in contrast with the savory chicken (which is completely delicious).

Personally, I could just eat the entire bowl with a spoon in one sitting because it is just that good. However, sometimes I do take the time to make it into a sandwich or share it with the rest of my family!

🥘 Chicken Salad With Grapes Ingredients

All of these items are just a quick grocery trip away! Choose celery and grapes that are super fresh for the best results!

  • Chicken - 4 cups of cooked chicken that has then been either shredded or chopped. Rotisserie chicken works perfectly for this recipe!Celery - 1 cup of chopped celery for a nice crunch!Grapes - 1 cup of red seedless grapes that have been chopped in half. I really enjoy using red grapes, but of course, you can use your favorite variety of grapes.Dried Cranberries - ½ cup of dried cranberries (also called craisins). Feel free to swap these out for raisins or currants if you like.Pecans - ½ cup of pecans or walnuts. Feel free to toast or roast these and then crush them until they are chunky!Mayonnaise - 1 cup of mayonnaise or plain Greek yogurt.Salt & Pepper - ½ teaspoon of both salt and pepper, to taste.Parsley (optional) - 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley for garnish, if desired.
