Quick & Easy

1. Shred the chicken

Instructions:

2. Dice the celery, red onion, red pepper, and green onion into small sized pieces. You want a fairly small, even dice so that they combine well into the chicken salad - you don’t want a giant chunk of raw onion in a bite.

Instructions:

3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken, diced veggies, mayonnaise, paprika, green onion, cajun seasoning, mustard, relish, dill, and celery salt.

Instructions:

4. Stir to combine well.

Instructions:

5. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use. I like to make sure it has at least 30 minutes in the fridge before serving to allow the flavors to blend together well.

Instructions:

6. Serve with crackers or as a sandwich on toast or a croissant. Serve with hot suace on the side.
