Copycat Chick-Fil-A Chicken Salad

Step 1

Place frozen chicken tenderloins in the air fryer basket.

Step 2

Air fry at 350°F for 15–18 minutes, until crispy and a meat thermometer registers at least 165°F when inserted into the thickest piece.

Step 3

Let the cooked chicken tenderloins cool entirely before chopping.

Step 4

Place the cooled and chopped chicken in a food processor and add mayonnaise, celery, and 2 tablespoons of water. Pulse just until chicken and celery is finely diced.

Step 5

Add relish and hardboiled egg to the food processor and pulse just a few times more. All ingredients should be very finely minced.

Step 6

Season with salt to taste before serving. If the chicken salad is too thick you may also wish to thin it out with an additional tablespoon or so of water.
