Ingredients

Scale

2 cups shredded roast chicken breast

2 teaspoons ranch dressing mix

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar

1 rib celery, finely diced

1/4 cup red onion, finely diced

1/2 cup pickled jalapeno peppers, chopped

1/4 cup cranberries (craisins), finely chopped

1/4 cup sour cream

1/2 cup Duke’s mayonnaise

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Start by shredding 2 cups of roast chicken breast. You can use leftover chicken or roast a chicken breast specifically for this recipe. Make sure the chicken is cooled before shredding.

Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of ranch dressing mix, 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of granulated sugar. These dry ingredients will help season the chicken salad and give it a flavorful base.

Step 3: Add Vegetables and Fruit

To the same bowl, add 1 finely diced rib of celery and 1/4 cup of finely diced red onion for crunch and flavor.

Follow with 1/2 cup of chopped pickled jalapeno peppers for a bit of heat.

Add 1/4 cup of finely chopped cranberries (craisins) for a sweet, tart contrast that brings the holiday flavor to the salad.

Step 4: Combine with Wet Ingredients

Add 1/4 cup of sour cream and 1/2 cup of Duke’s mayonnaise to the bowl. The sour cream adds a tangy flavor, while the mayonnaise provides creaminess.

Step 5: Mix Together

Gently stir all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to shred the chicken pieces too much as you mix.

Step 6: Chill Before Serving

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Chilling allows the flavors to meld together and intensifies the taste.

Step 7: Serve

Serve the Deck the Holly chicken salad on a bed of greens, as a sandwich filling, or with crackers as an appetizer. It’s versatile and perfect for holiday gatherings or a festive lunch.

Enjoy your Deck the Holly inspired chicken salad, a dish that’s sure to bring holiday cheer to any table with its delightful mix of flavors!
