Remember last year when Chick-fil-A discontinued their coleslaw recipe? Fortunately I made their Copycat Chick-fil-A coleslaw and it’s become one of our favorite picnic foods in the summer.

Well, they are at it again, and this time discontinuing their chicken salad.

I have a confession, when I saw the news I thought, “I didn’t even know they had a chicken salad recipe.”

Needless to say, I went out and immediately tried it. I figure I love their chicken sandwiches so much, the salad must be amazing. And who couldn’t use a new, delicious chicken salad recipe.

Well, friends, it is amazing. Unfortunately because their chicken sandwiches are so popular, people like me who never even look at the menu didn’t even order it.

Once again though, Chick-fil-A has shared their Chicken Salad recipe with the world before retiring it from the menu September 30, 2017.

Of course, their recipe calls for using THEIR chicken. Which, yes, that would be lovely and delicious and completely NOT convenient. haha. So, my version using frozen chicken strips you would find in the store, breaded and cooked. You just need to heat them up, and assemble the salad. Easy, right?

We enjoyed our Copycat Chick-fil-A Chicken Salad on some whole grain oat bread with fresh romaine lettuce! But serving on a croissant like I did with this Healthy Chicken Salad would also be wonderful! ENJOY 🙂
