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 one of our first Chick Fil A Copycat Recipes.

I would love to serve this to my kids, but they are convinced that chicken salad is too “healthy”.
Toast the bread in a pan with butter, just like you would for grilled cheese, and then add your chicken salad, they will be convinced it’s a fancy grilled cheese and will love it!
What kind of chicken works best for this dish?
Any white meat works great for this dish. Chicken breasts, chicken tenderloins, or even frozen grilled chicken strips will work perfectly.
How long does Chick Fil A Chicken Salad last in the fridge?
The chicken salad by itself will keep in the fridge for about 3-5 days when sealed in an air-tight container.

I got everything ready for this dish and realized I am out of mayo! Is there anything I can substitute it for?
Greek yogurt is a great substitute for mayo if you are out, and it will take on the flavor of the other yummy things you add to the salad. This is also a great substitute if you have a child who is allergic to eggs.
I’d like to get a little more of a crunch in my chicken salad, is there anything I can add to this recipe to make it crunchier?
Apples make a great addition to chicken salad sandwiches. They add a hint of crunchy sweetness to the dish.

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.
Hi can you use avocado mayonnaise in this receipe?
