đź’Ť What Makes This Recipe So Good
You all love our marry me chicken recipe so much that it’s already expanded into Whole30 marry me chicken, marry me chicken pasta, and slow cooker marry me chicken. Now, allow me to introduce you to this potluck-perfect marry me chicken salad! We took the tender chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, and parmesan cream sauce from the original recipe and adapted them into a flavorful chicken salad to rival anything you’d get from the Chick. Marry me chicken salad is super easy to make – arguably the easiest version we’ve developed so far! No cast-iron skillet needed, no extra oven step, and honestly, you don’t even need to cook chicken for this dish if you don’t want to. Shredded rotisserie chicken works like a charm, and it cuts your overall recipe time down to about 15 minutes. One great thing about all chicken salads, this one included, is that you can serve them a variety of ways so you don’t get bored. Scoop the salad into lettuce cups or onto a bed of spinach and red lettuce. Sandwich your salad between two buttery croissant halves. Eat it straight out of the bowl with crunchy buttery crackers. Feel free to get creative!
👩🏼‍🍳 Chef’s Tips
If you have the time, make your marry me chicken salad far enough in advance that it can chill in the fridge at least 30 minutes. That gives the ingredients time to marry together (get it?), making them richer and more intense than when the salad’s first prepared. If you don’t have extra time, don’t worry. It’ll still be super delicious, so feel free to serve it right away. Use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, not the ones packed dry. Not only do the tomatoes take on the extra flavor of the oil and herbs they were packed in, but you can use some of the oil in the chicken salad itself. You also don’t have to prep the oil-packed tomatoes before you use them since they’re already softened.
