Chicken Potato Salad

Chicken Potato Salad? Trust me.. this is a keeper. I get requests to make this all the time, and everyone always asks for the recipe.


6 medium red potatoes, steamed, peeled and cubed
2 poached chicken breasts, cubed (check out how to poach chicken breasts on the side bar)
1 cup sliced celery
1/4 cup grated carrots
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup chopped (Vlasic brand is the best) baby kosher dill pickles
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1/4 cup chopped granny smith, or honey crisp apple (peeled)
1 cup Hellmans (or Best Foods) mayonnaise (no substitutes! - you heard me!)
2 tbl dill pickle juice
1/4 tsp pepper
2 pinches salt

Mix first 8 ingredients in a large bowl. In a smaller bowl mix mayonnaise, pickle juice, pepper and salt. Combine with first 8 ingredients in the large bowl. Cover and chill in refrigerator so flavors can meld.
*Best if chilled overnight.
