Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups cooked chicken breast shredded or diced (rotisserie or poached works well)
  • ½ cup mayonnaise you can use H-E-B brand or your preferred kind
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard optional, for added tang
  • 1 stalk celery finely chopped
  • ¼ cup red onion finely chopped
  • ¼ cup sweet relish or chopped pickles
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar optional, for brightness
  • ½ cup seedless grapes halved (optional for a sweet touch)
  • ¼ cup sliced almonds or pecans optional for crunch

Method
 

  1. To make a classic HEB Chicken Salad Recipe at home, begin by cooking and cooling about two cups of boneless, skinless chicken breasts—boiled, baked, or rotisserie chicken all work well.
  2. Once cooled, dice the chicken into small, bite-sized pieces. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken with finely chopped celery, red onion, and sweet pickles or relish to capture that signature HEB flavor.
  3. For added texture and a touch of sweetness, you can also include halved red grapes or chopped pecans. In a separate bowl, prepare the dressing by mixing mayonnaise with a small amount of Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and a splash of lemon juice.
  4. Fold the dressing gently into the chicken mixture until everything is evenly coated. Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
  5. This easy HEB Chicken Salad Recipe is perfect for sandwiches, lettuce wraps, or served on its own for a light, flavorful meal.
