I always make this chunky chicken salad recipe from leftover roast chicken.  Since this chicken salad is chunky (as opposed to creamy), it doesn’t have to be spread on the sandwich – chunky chicken salad can be a stand-alone dish.

There are three options on how to eat this chunky chicken salad: (1) by itself (2) on a sandwich (3) wrapped in a tortilla

Chunky chicken salad recipe has only 4 ingredients, so it’s really easy to make.  If you don’t have a pickle, just omit it – this way the chunky chicken salad will have just 3 ingredients, and will still taste great!

Ingredients for Chunky Chicken Salad Recipe:

1 cup leftover chicken meat
2 eggs, hard-boiled
1 pickle
2 tbsp mayo

Directions How To Make Chunky Chicken Salad:

Chop the chicken meat.  Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs.  Mince the pickle.

Put chicken, eggs and pickle in a bowl and add the mayo.  Mix everything until combined.  If necessary, add salt and pepper to taste.
