Prepare the Chicken: If your chicken isn’t pre-cooked, boil it in water for about 20-25 minutes or until fully cooked. Let it cool, then shred or chop it into bite-sized pieces.
Mix the Salad: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, fresh dill, celery, red onion, and lemon juice. Stir well to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Taste and adjust the seasoning or mayonnaise as needed for flavor and consistency.
Add Chicken: Add the cooked chicken to the bowl with the salad mixture. Gently fold the chicken into the salad to ensure it’s well coated with the dressing.
Add Optional Ingredients: If using, gently fold in the grapes and slivered almonds until evenly distributed.
Chill: For the best flavor, cover the salad and refrigerate it for at least an hour before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve: Serve the Dill-icious Diva Chicken Salad on a bed of lettuce, in a sandwich, or with crackers as desired.
