Ingredients

1 ½ pounds cooked chicken breast chopped
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup crushed pineapple drained
¼ cup almond slivers add more if preferred
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Prepare The Chicken: If you haven’t already, cook the chicken breast until it’s fully cooked. Let it cool, then chop it into bite-sized pieces.
Mix Ingredients: Combine the chopped chicken breast, mayonnaise, drained crushed pineapple, almond slivers, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Adjust Seasonings: Taste the chicken salad and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You can add a little more mayonnaise if you prefer a creamier texture.
Chill: Although you can serve it immediately, for the best flavor, cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken salad for at least an hour. This allows the flavors to meld together.
Serve: Serve your Jason’s Deli-style chicken salad on a bed of lettuce, in a sandwich, or as a wrap filling. It’s a versatile recipe that’s perfect for a quick lunch or a light dinner.

Notes

Tips And Variations

Cooking Chicken: For added flavor, cook the chicken in chicken broth or season it with herbs and spices before cooking.

Nut-Free Option: If you’re allergic to nuts or don’t like almonds, you can omit them.

Vegetables: Add diced celery, red onion, or bell peppers for extra crunch and flavor.

Protein: Substitute chicken with turkey or tofu for a different protein source.

Mayo Alternatives: Use Greek yogurt or a combination of yogurt and mayonnaise for a lighter dressing.

Spice Level: Adjust the black pepper and add hot sauce or chili flakes if you prefer a spicier kick.

Additional Ingredients: Feel free to add in other ingredients like diced celery, grapes, or a hint of curry powder for a different twist.
