Not a bad recipe. I tried it for lunch one day and it wasn't bad. Although I should probably chop the celery a bit smaller next time I make it. Otherwise it's not bad, not bad at all.

Three stars as recipes is.. as I agree it tastes like tuna salad with the pickles. I have made it with raisins and chopped walnuts instead of the pickles. Also have used green grapes in place of raisins. My hubby does not like it with the raisins, grapes and nuts however. He has NO sense of adventure in his food! Sometimes I make two different batches of things.. his way, and mine! Oh how we do love to please our guys!

This is exactly the taste I've been looking for!!!! Didn't have any celery on hand and it tastes just fine without it. I also used 1TBL sweet relish (cause that is what I had) and added 1Tbl sweet onions along with the onion powder, also used chicken breast left over from previous dinner. It is perfect. Thanks

I assembled this as written and it as very good however I added a few touches of my own and it was fantastic! Before adding the mayo, I tossed the "shredded" chicken with 2 TBS of Italian dressing. After adding the mayo I threw in a handful of toasted almond slivers and "ta-dah" the flavor could not be matched. I will make often and perhaps add some sliced grapes when I have some available. Thanks for the post.

So very easy! My children LOVED it! I even made a vegetarian version for my husband and his children (of course they've NEVER had anything like it before) and used Diced Chick, a vegetarian diced chicken. Omitted pickles due to taste, but everything else was wonderful!

Easy to make & tastes great! I used 1/3 cup pickle relish (instead of 1/2 cup chopped sweet pickles) & it turned out great!

Very easy to make, I boiled chicken with the celery (we don't like the celery crunchy) and used dill pickle relish and it turned out great!

Used fresh cooked chicken and left off the onion powder. Added a Garlic and Onion Medley Spice and a dash of LOUISANA Hot Sauce ... Oh Baby !!!!!! The guys came over for the Giants Game today and tore this chicken salad up. Two of them asked me if I could show their wives how to make it.

I've never made any other chicken salad to compare this to, but my family loved this the first time I made it, so I figured...Why mess with a good thing? I use sweet relish instead of the pickles, though, just for convenience's sake.

We all loved this...even though I made a few changes. I omitted the pickles (didn't have any) and used a heaping TBL spoon of Vlasic Homestyle Relish instead. I also added about a TBL spoon of chopped green onions. The only mistake I made was only making one batch..I had to end up making another batch because everyone ate the first up so fast. Thanks for sharing.

Really good. I used leftover baked chicken which I diced up and combined with the other ingredients (except I omitted the pickle) and packed it in little containers with bread stored in a separate ziplock bag and packed it in my kid's lunch and they loved it. Great way to use up a little lefover chicken.

I did not care for the addedd pickles at all. I made this again,but omitted the pickles,and added 1 T Dill. I also used REAL Mayo, 2 finely chopped green onion, shredded the chicken,mixed together with spoon ,then I added Lawry's to taste. It's better if you let this set overnight in the fridge or at least 4 hours,so that it's not only cold,but well blended. Great for sandwiches,on trisket,or such crackers,or on celery. Could be used many ways.

Pretty much just your original chicken salad. Always good though!! Used fresh cooked seasoned chicken, omitted the celery (didn't have any) and added mustard for extra flavor. Next time I might add some boiled egg. I think that would go well.

I also used real chicken and chopped onion (very fine, so you don't bite into a huge chunk of raw onion!). I omitted the pickles for my husband who doesn't care for it that way, but I don't mind it either way. I think the ratio of mayo to chicken is perfect. Thanks for the recipe!

Good, not excellent. Will try it with freshly cooked chopped chicken. I think it's the taste and texture of the canned chicken (I used Del Monte canned chicken breast) that I don't care for. Easy, good basic recipe to have on hand for emergency lunch. Would be good with canned tuna.
