Easy Chicken Salad
This quick and easy chicken salad is a recipe my family has been making for a long time! We don’t remember where we got the recipe but just know that everyone loved it. For my family, hubby loves it and all the kids love it, which means it’s a keeper! We especially love making these Rice-a-Roni Chicken Salad Sandwiches for parties, including bridal and baby showers.
This is a super easy recipe and a great “chicken salad” recipe for parties. It’s also a great lunch idea and stores well (if you have leftovers). Because of this, we do it often.
If you’re short on time, use store rolls. To make this recipe even better, I paired it with our homemade dinner rolls. No matter how you do it, it’s sure to be a big hit!
Just mix and season!
mix. Follow the directions on the box to make RICE-A-RONI. Add the drained canned chicken. Mix together in a bowl.

shop Leftovers in an airtight container. Leftovers from this chicken salad will keep for up to 4 days in the refrigerator. I don’t freeze leftovers because of the mayo in the recipe. If reheated, the mayonnaise will separate from the freezer.
Prepare this chicken salad 3-4 days in advance. Get everything ready, mix it all together, and keep it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve.
