If your chicken isn’t already cooked, you can quickly poach or bake some chicken breasts. I prefer using chicken breast for that lean, light chicken flavor, but rotisserie chicken works great too!

In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, sour cream, and sugar. Stir until smooth and creamy. This combo is key to that perfect creamy texture that Ukrop’s homestyle chicken salad is known for.

Toss in the shredded chicken, chopped celery, sweet pickle relish, and red onion. Gently mix everything together until evenly combined.

Now, here’s where you can make it your own! Add salt and pepper to your liking, adjusting the seasoning as needed. If you like a bit more tang, throw in a splash of pickle juice or a dash of extra mustard.

Once everything is mixed, let the chicken salad chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes. This allows all the flavors to meld together for that signature Ukrop’s homestyle taste. Serve cold on sandwiches, with crackers, or over a bed of greens for a Southwestern-style spin!
