This recipe was inspired by a deli back in my hometown. They made a yummy chicken salad, with mayo and artichokes, that was very popular. So, I decided to recreate it with my own twist, and I think it's even better than the original. The salad is a combination of slightly smoky grilled chicken, tangy seasoned & marinated artichoke hearts and a mayo salad dressing. It's quick and easy, yet elegant and divinely delicious; perfect for a special lunch, brunch buffet or busy-day dinner. Use it to stuff tomatoes, as an appetizer on crackers or party bread rounds, or simply on a bed of lettuce. Yum!

How To Make basic artichoke chicken salad

Step 1

*NOTE: You may use grilled, rotisserie or roasted chicken or turkey meat (any part/s of the bird,) though grilled has the best flavor, in my opinion.

Step 2

Gather and prep all ingredients (remove skin, debone and chop chicken; drain artichokes and chop after removing any tough outer leaves.)
Step 3

Add chicken to an average size mixing bowl; sprinkle with 1/4 tsp salt; toss to distribute salt.
Step 4

Add Miracle Whip salad dressing; mix with large spoon to coat chicken well.
Step 5

Add chopped artichokes; mix well.
Step 6

Serve immediately, as desired, or cover and refrigerate until served. Cover and refrigerate any leftovers.
