How to Serve Pesto Chicken Salad
This chicken salad is so delicious on a buttery croissant with some spinach or lettuce and shredded parmesan cheese. You could also eat it with crackers or any other bread or bun for a yummy chicken salad sandwich. It would make a great wrap or for a low carb and gluten free option, a lettuce wrap like my Chicken Lettuce Wraps. This Pesto Chicken Salad is no exception. This is a great twist on my classic chicken salad recipe, with the amazing taste of pesto. If you are a pesto lover, you are going to rave over these. This salad is perfect on the croissant you see pictured, but for a lower carb option, it is great as a lettuce wrap too!
Make the sauce. Combine the mayonnaise, pesto, garlic powder, and onion powder in a small bowl.Mix together other ingredients. In a large bowl, mix the chicken, red pepper, tomatoes, and onion.Combine sauce with the main ingredients. Add salt and pepper to taste.
You can also use your Instant Pot to make shredded chicken or use a rotisserie chicken. Sometimes I like to buy several, shred them, and freeze them. Since this recipe has mayonnaise in it, I would not recommend freezing it.
