Pesto Chicken Salad
A vibrant, herbaceous twist on a classic, combining tender shredded chicken with creamy basil pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, and a touch of lemon for brightness. Perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or served over greens, it's a flavorful and versatile dish ideal for any meal.
I’ll admit I’m pretty new to the chicken salad game. I convinced myself for years that I didn’t like it without ever trying it. One day I thought to myself, I enjoy every single ingredient in chicken salad separately why on earth would I not like it! The pesto is an amazing flavor addition to really level up the classic chicken salad, not that its not great on its own!
