Have you ever tried a Chick-fil-A chicken salad sandwich? They are amazing! I don’t live close to one, so I figured out how I could make it at home. You’ve to go try this simple recipe!
It never fails. Anytime I really am craving Chick-fil-A, it’s on a Sunday when they’re closed. UGH. And the one thing I usually crave is their chicken salad sandwich. Now that it is not only no longer on the menu (so I can’t get it when I want), I’ve had to get creative.
After a little trial and error, I was able to come up with this simple recipe that is pretty close to the original Chick-fil-A chicken salad sandwich, if I do say so myself! And, the first time my husband tried it, he thought it was back on their menu.
If you’ve never tried one before, their sandwich is the perfect mix of tangy and sweet, with the right balance of chicken to dressing. Make sure you also make a frosted lemonade to go along with your sandwich!
