Fluffy chicken salad!!! I truly can’t stop making it. The texture is what makes this recipe so special. Instead of chopping everything by hand, the food processor creates the lightest, fluffiest chicken salad that somehow feels both creamy and fresh. Trust me, it’s absolutely worth washing the food processor afterward.
I love a generous amount of fresh tarragon here because it gives the chicken salad that classic deli-style flavor, but if you’re not as tarragon-obsessed as I am, you can definitely scale it back. Fresh dill or parsley would also be delicious if that’s what you have on hand.
Serve it with crackers for an easy snack, pile it onto toasted bread for the ultimate sandwich, stuff it into a croissant, scoop it over a bed of mixed greens, or even wrap it in crisp lettuce cups for a lighter option. It’s one of those recipes that’s perfect for meal prep because it tastes even better after a few hours in the fridge.
One last thing: if you don’t already own a food processor, I highly recommend investing in one. I’ve had my Cuisinart for what feels like forever, and it’s still going strong after years of constant use. This is the newer version of the one I have. It’s surprisingly affordable, incredibly durable, and one of the kitchen tools I use more than just about anything else.
