I won't lie I LOVE the Chick Fil A Chicken Salad Sandwich, but let's face it it can get expensive to eat there as much as I have a craving for it! So I started my hunt for a copycat recipe and this is the best and closest I can get and it works for me! Some recipes have mentioned adding a bit of cinnamon and I've had some people say that too. This was on of our first Chick Fil A Copycat Recipes.
Here's how to make a Copycat Chick Fil A Chicken Salad Sandwich
If you are going to stop in at Chick-Fil-A instead of making this sandwich yourself make sure you get a discounted Chick-Fil-A gift card to save money on your purchase! You can also take my method of earning $210 a month in Amazon Gift Cards and cash out for Pay Pal instead to pay for your addiction 😉 Can't beat some free Chick-Fil-A YUM!
Ok on to the super yummy recipe.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup cooked Chicken (I use the white meat from the chicken breast but you can use whatever you have)
1/4 cup Celery, diced
1 Hard Boiled Egg, diced
2 tbsp Relish (I use sweet but you can use dill too)
1/3 cup Mayo
Salt & Pepper to taste
4 slices Wheat (or White) Bread, toasted
Leaf of lettuce
DIRECTIONS
Combine chicken, mayo, relish, egg, celery, salt & pepper.
Top 2 slices of bread with lettuce.
Add half the chicken mixture to one Slice of toast and the other half to the 2nd slice of toast.
Top with remaining slices of bread to make your sandwich.
While this recipe makes two sandwiches they are very filling and the chicken mixture does hold well in the fridge for a few days.

Chicken salad is one of mine favourite sandwich’s
I just made this. Used the yellow too? It helps bind it together. Used some left over roasted chicken and had enough to triple recipe. It wont last long.
just made this for lunch and it was delicious, tasted exactly like a chicken salad sandwich from Chick-fil-a yumm, thanks for sharing!
I think their chicken salad also has cinnamon. May want to try this.
Thanks this is something to try but i never tasted cinnamon in it, I wonder if it’s a regional thing?
I worked for Chick fil A for many years and made alot of chicken salad, although in much larger quantities. This recipe has all the right ingredients. No cinnamon however.
Its not cinnamon its nutmeg. I worked there
Thanks!
Chicken salad is one of my favorites but Ive never tried there’s. It looks great. I think subway has good chicken salad.
This is a great recipe! Loved eating it for lunch at work! I did put a pinch of Cayenne pepper on mine!
Maybe a few cut up grapes?
I don’t think they put relish or pickles in it… I’ve never tasted any sign of them in theirs. I don’t like pickles so I wouldn’t eat it if they did!!!
I tasted a bit of relish in the one i had a few years ago. They stopped making them and brought them back and this time to relish. It’s still just as good though.
