This seasoned chicken salad recipe has a mild flavor that appeals to just about everyone. It is super versatile and easily modified with extra ingredients.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Rinse chicken breasts under cool water, pat dry with a paper towel and place on prepared baking sheet.
Coat each piece of chicken with oil and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper. Bake 12–16 minutes (depending on thickness), just until cooked through. Remove from oven and set aside to cool.
Shred the cooled chicken with two forks or chop very finely. Place chicken into a medium-sized mixing bowl, add all remaining ingredients and mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until well chilled.
Serve this chicken salad on a bed of lettuce, in a sandwich or on crackers as an appetizer. Enjoy!
Notes
Substitute light mayonnaise to cut down on the calories but not the taste!
