My older daughter has always claimed that she "doesn't like chicken salad." Well, that girl changed her mind super fast when one day I introduced this combination: Sour Cream and Onion Chicken Salad!

This stuff is good with crackers, veggies, pretzels, and even just by itself. Trust me. Give it a go and you'll see what all the fuss is about!

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups chicken (cooked, and shredded or diced)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons dried minced onion (sold in spice aisle)
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, mix all ingredients together thoroughly.
  • Serve with whole-grain crackers or fresh veggies. This chicken salad would also be great with bits of celery mixed in!

Notes

This dish is best if made in advance so the minced onion has time to soften before eating, but don't let that stop you from eating it right away.
