Ingredients

- ½ cup celery finely chopped
- ¼ cup red onion finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt to taste

Instructions
Prepare the Chicken
- Cook the chicken until tender and fully done. Let it cool slightly. Shred the chicken into small pieces using two forks for soft and even texture.
Chop the Vegetables
- Finely chop celery, onion, and parsley. Small pieces mix better into the salad. This gives flavor and crunch in every bite.
Make the Creamy Dressing
- In a mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and creamy.
Mix Everything Together
- Add shredded chicken and chopped vegetables into the bowl. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly coated with the creamy dressing.
Chill Before Serving
- Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 20 minutes. This helps the flavors blend together perfectly.
Serve and Enjoy
- Serve the chicken salad cold. Add it to sandwiches, wraps, lettuce cups, or crackers for a fresh and delicious meal.
Notes
- Use rotisserie chicken for faster preparation
- Add grapes for sweetness
- Mix chopped nuts for crunch
- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream
- Add boiled eggs for extra protein
- Use fresh dill for extra flavor
