Description
Creamy Parmesan Chicken Salad combines tender chicken, creamy dressing, fresh herbs, and savory Parmesan cheese into a rich and satisfying salad. The smooth dressing coats every piece of chicken while garlic and herbs add aroma and depth. This versatile salad works beautifully for sandwiches, wraps, lettuce cups, or simple salad bowls.
Ingredients
2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded or diced
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 clove garlic, finely minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons celery, finely diced
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
1. Dice or shred the cooked chicken breast into small bite size pieces and place it in a large mixing bowl.
2. In a separate bowl mix mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until smooth and creamy.
3. Add chopped celery and parsley to the chicken.
4. Pour the Parmesan dressing over the chicken mixture and stir gently until everything is evenly coated.
5. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the salad for about 30 minutes so the flavors blend together before serving.
Notes
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese provides the best flavor and texture.
Let the salad chill before serving so the garlic and herbs blend well.
Taste after chilling and adjust salt or lemon juice if needed.
