This creamy BLT Chicken Salad is packed with crispy bacon, juicy tomatoes, and tender chicken. Quick, easy, and gluten-free!
Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked chicken chopped (rotisserie or poached)
- 1 pound bacon diced and cooked until crisp
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
- ½ small red onion diced
- 2 stalks celery diced
- ½ cup light mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Protein
- Chop your cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces. For ease and flavor, rotisserie chicken is a fantastic option. Dice and cook the bacon until crisp, then drain on paper towels.
Step 2: Chop the Veggies
- Dice the red onion, celery, and halve the cherry tomatoes for bursts of juicy flavor.
Step 3: Mix the Dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper.
Step 4: Combine Everything
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken, bacon, tomatoes, onion, and celery. Pour the dressing over and toss until everything is well-coated.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
- You can serve immediately or refrigerate for an hour to let the flavors meld. Serve on lettuce leaves, in sandwiches, or with crackers.
