This is hands-down, by far the best chicken salad ever. It has everything you’ve ever dreamed of that should be in a chicken salad. From the ‘usual’ celery to creole mustard, to horseradish, this is nothing but delicious. I’m not usually even a fan of horseradish but it really, really works in Marguerite’s Creole chicken salad.

Marguerites Creole Chicken Salad

I brined a few bone-in chicken breasts using my usual technique, substituting a few tablespoons of creole seasoning for the oregano.I then roasted the chicken on my Big Easy oil-less fryer. The chicken, as always, came out perfectly tender and juicy, just right for Marguerite’s Creole chicken salad. You can of course substitute any cooked chicken you’d like.

I recently discovered Blue Plate mayonnaise, which I think is the best around. If you can’t find it locally you can pick it up online for a fair price.

This recipe comes from Marguerite at Cajun Delights, my favorite place for all thing Cajun, from food to music.

Also try my chicken sauce piquante.
