This chicken salad recipe is gluten free, nut free, and low carbohydrate.
My friend, Kelli, makes this delicious chicken salad, and she shared her recipe with me. Two ingredients make it unusual: craisins and Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning.
Ingredients:
4 Chicken Breasts, cooked and shredded
6 – 8 Green Onions, sliced
2 Stalks Celery, diced
1 cup Craisins (dried cranberries)
4 – 6 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
Salt and Pepper to Taste
Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning
Directions
In a large bowl combine shredded chicken, sliced green onions, diced celery and craisins. Mix well.
2. Stir in mayonnaise, salt and pepper.
3. Sprinkle Tony Chachere’s over the chicken salad and stir in. This can be hot, so start with a small amount and add more a little at a time until it’s perfect for you.
You can change the amounts of any of the ingredients according to how you like it.
Serve chicken salad with shredded or torn lettuce.
Refrigerate or serve immediately.

I wonder if you could substitute in fish for chicken. I have way too much fish in my freezer right now. -Aaron

Chicken salad is my favorite! I bet this would be so yummy served on a croissant.
Noreen says
Actually, it’s excellent on a croissant! But the croissant isn’t gluten free.

We’re fixing chicken salad for lunch today and I wish I had craisins to toss in. We will probably skip the Creole seasoning…everyone here has their own opinion re: the hot stuff. Thanks for sharing your recipe, D@TheShadyPorch
