Feta Chicken Salad

red bell pepper,

½ red onion, diced

mayonnaise

(4 ounce) package feta cheese, crumbled

dill weed

salt and pepper

In a serving bowl, mix together the chicken, celery, and red onion. In a separate bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, feta cheese, and dill. Pour over the chicken mixture, and stir to blend. Taste, and season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until serving.


This recipe is delicious.  I used non fat yogurt instead of sour cream, and replaced the onion with a couple cloves of garlic.  I used canned chicken.

totally yummy! i used gorgonzola instead of feta and added mandarin oranges, almond slices and a green salad. low carb too! :)

Very tasty chicken salad with the feta!  I followed the recipe as stated except I didn't have fresh red bell peppers so I subbed with roasted red peppers in water from a jar.  I drained and chopped before adding to the dish.  I tasted right after mixing and thought it was okay.  Put in the fridge for about an hour, then tasted and salt and peppered to taste.  I will make this again.

Thank you. Great use for leftover roast chicken, feta cheese, and red bell pepper in my fridge.  Didn't have sour cream, so added a splash of FF 1/2 and 1/2 and a squeeze of lemon. Also substituted dry thyme, basil, and oregano for dill weed.  Stuffed into a whole wheat pita--yummy! The lunch of champions.

This is so yummy!  Every time my friend comes back from England, this is her first request.  She is still trying to come up with a way to ship it!!  I do almsot double the feta though...cuz everythings betta when you add more feta!

I have used this recipe for over two years and thought I should get aroung to reviewing it.  It is absolutely fabulous and low carb to boot!  It is actually a little better the 2nd day, but we usually don't have any left!!!

I was thinking there would be too many veggies in this salad but I was very wrong.  This is absolutely awesome.  I used green pepper, sweet onion and basil and tomato feta.  Left out the dill at first, added it to leftovers ... we prefer it without.  Suggest omitting it if you do not like pickles in your salads.  Thanks for a wonderful recipe!  Would give it 10 stars if I could.

awesome chicken salad recipe! such a nice change from the ordinary. my husband grimaced when i told him we were having these pita sandwiches for dinner but quickly changed his opinion as soon as he tasted it ;) the feta and dill give it such a nice flavor and the veggies give it the necessary texture. definitely a 5 star recipe.

I rarely eat chicken salad but had a craving recently so made this.  So good!  

I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts.  Seasoned with salt and pepper and a little smoked paprika then browned in a little olive oil.  Added about a cup of chicken broth and simmered for maybe 1/2 hour before chopping up to add to other ingredients.  Can't wait to make this again.  May double it next time.  

FYI, about 1 1/4 lbs. boneless breasts gave me about three cups chopped chicken.

Delicious, but watch the onions. I thought the red onions were too strong.

Feta was more flavorful immediately after making than next day.  Add feta just before eating.

Great flavor combination! I didn't have a Red Bell Pepper so I substituted it for green.  I served it on a bed of Romaine Lettuce and enjoyed hearing my husband trying to guess what was in it!   Will surely use this one again!  VERY easy and FAST!

I used diced cucumber instead of celery and red pepper.  I also used lots of fresh basil and parsley from the garden instead of the dill.  They made tasty sandwiches for lunch.  Both my boyfriend and I enjoyed them.  I wrote down the recipe for my book.  Will definitely be making again.

I have made this for years (via a similar recipe). It's fantastic, all alone or with crackers or raw veggies. I love the varied textures (creamy, crunchy, etc) and the flavor layers.

very great! I boiled boneless skinless chicken breasts, with garlic, red pepper, celery, salt and pepper. Then I cubed it up after it dried.  I did not add in the red pepper to the mix, I cut the onion part in half.  Very good!

This was very, very yummy! Both me and my husband loved this salad.  We used Greek yogurt, mayo, a chopped sweet onion, the dill and the feta, of course. We will have this one again! And again! :)

A great use for all the stuff I had in my fridge.  I did substitute yogurt for the sour cream.  In my mind at least, that and the "Mediterranean Herb" feta cheese just made it more authentic Middle Eastern.  Served it with pita pocket bread.  I haven't tried it, but I bet you could put this in a food processor and make a spread for crackers.

Love this salad.  It is a unique and tasty way to get rid of left over chicken.  It is even better with left over bbq grilled chicken (without bbq sauce of course).  The longer it stays in the fridge the better it gets.  Thanks for the recipe!!

Loved this! Delish and very easy to make. I used Greek yogurt instead of the sour cream, and added toasted pecan pieces and fresh basil. It's a keeper.

Great recipe.  I got a reduced price rotisserie chicken from the grocery, let it cool, cut up into bite sized pieces. Quick, quick, quick and easy! Stuffed a tomato with it.

Had lots of leftover chicken from dinner, and thought this sounded good. We all love feta here. I started to make it and realized I had NO red pepper. But I chopped up about 1/4 cup of roasted red peppers (mild) and used that instead. YUMMY! I'll definitely use this often.

This was sooo good. I added a few splashes of hot sauce, and used roasted red pepper and garlic feta.... sooo good will def make again.... maybe right now:)

This was exceptional! Made exactly as written, with the exception of using Morningstar Farms soy chicken strips in place of real chicken (we are vegetarians). YUM!

Not bad.  I feel like the flavors didn't mesh well, even after overnight marinating, but it wasn't bad.

Absolutely delicious.  I love the flavor that the dill and feta add to this classic.  And the veggies give the salad a wonderfully crisp texture.  I used greek yogurt instead of the sour cream as well as a "light" version of the mayo.  Yum!

we really enjoyed this. just put some in a pita with some lettuce and a great lunch!.

I would just like to throw this out there...amazing recipe! The whole family LOVED this. I cannot remember having like a recipe as much as this in a long time.

I had this for lunch today and it was by far the tastiest chicken salad that I've made myself! I had it open faced on a pumpernickel rye bagel and the combo was very tasty. Thanks for a great chicken salad recipe!

This is a delicious recipe, thank you for sharing it!  I too used the garlic herb feta cheese and it gives the salad such a nice flavor.  My hubby says it's "deli quality" and I agree-it's wonderful.

Very yummy!  I used sun dried tomatoes instead of the of the bell pepper.

Good recipe base! Went the Greek route as suggested &amp; used yogurt instead of sour cream. Topped w/diced peppercinis &amp; cayanne for some kick. Served as a wrap. Next time will add lettuce &amp; maybe substitute Greek seasoning instead of the dill. Freshing dinner on a hot day!

I recently made this for a baby shower and it was absolutely delicious. I did make a few changes.  I used 2% greek yogurt instead of the sour cream and replaced the dried dill with fresh.  This recipe will not disappoint!

It's a good recipe for when you want a break from "regular" chicken salad.  I would probably make this once or twice a year.

This was awesome! I used what I had on hand and did not have the celery and used roasted peppers in a jar instead. This was so good even with the substitutions!

This took some getting used to, but in the end it was delicious in a unique chicken salad sort of way. Now that I think about it, I wonder if, given the dill, pepper, and feta, if this would be really yummy with salmon instead of chicken. Hmm... I'll ponder that for next time.

Although I would have preferred it without the red bell pepper, we both really liked this. I used lite mayo and fat-free sour cream, and we had it in wholegrain rolls. Very good. Thanks!

This is one of the yummiest &amp; most unique chicken salad recipes I have ever tasted.
Time-saver tip: Just pick up an already-roasted whole chicken at the grocery store &amp; shred the meat to use in this recipe.  

This was easy to prepare and had a nice flavor.  I followed the recipe exactly, except I used half of red pepper and a small white onion.  I used my PC chopper on chicken and veggies.  Served on butter croissants that were a little warm.  Thank you for sharing this recipe.

I entered this recipe in the Iowa State Fair for a caterer's competion - they loved it!!  BLUE RIBBON, and $150 first prize - I plated it in pita pockets halves with a lettuce leaf, and veggie nibbles - even the husband loved it

This was really good! I added dejon mustard, cayanne, and tonys. Next time I might add boiled eggs. I was kind of concerned about the feta cheese but my husband always tells me that you will never know if it is good unless you try it so I did and I am glad I did. Great recipe!

Very good change from your usual chicken salad.  I used a rotiserie chicken from costco, 1/2 red bell pepper,  1/2 english, cucumber, light mayo, light sour cream, and light feta.  I served a big spoonful on a bed of greens with pita chips on the side.  Yummy summer dinner. Thanks for the recipe.

Nice, versatile recipe. I have also omitted the red pepper and added dried cranberries. They went very well with the Feta. I'll surely keep this as a base to play with.

Hmmm....I thought this was just OK. I wasn't that thrilled with the red pepper in it. (&amp; I only used half) I love feta, so I thought I would love this. Oh, well!

This was so good!  I didn't add onions and dill simply because I forgot, but added everything else plus a little lemon juice. So so good!

So yummy.  I threw everything into my food processor and it came out so creamy and spreadable.  Taste delightful.  Added a bit of garlic, no salt.

A new twist on my normal chicken salad with fruit (cranberries or grapes) and I loved it! My 12 year old daughter devoured it and asked for more.  I left out the celery since we all dislike it, but other than that, I stuck to the recipe. Thanks!

This is great! It's fast, simple and delicious! I will add this to the favorites box! Thanks!

I've been looking for a good chicken salad recipe for a while now, and i'm a very fussy eater.. i never imagined to put feta in chicken salad. I tried the recipe the first day I saw it, and quickly added it to my cook book! I tweaked the recipe a bit (no onions, or celery) and added cucumbers and sliced black olives in its place, and then stuffed it in a pita!!! Great Recipe!!

The only change was the use of fresh dill. This is an absolutely fabulous recipe. A delightful departure from the same old for left over chicken or turkey.

I will definitely be making this again!  The feta was great...I used a tomato basil feta and it added a wonderful flavor.  Served over a mixed green salad with fresh tomatoes.  Thanks for the keeper!

Wow! This recipe was way better than I thought it was going to be. And I haven't even added any salt or pepper or dill! 

Excellent recipe...thanks!  The only changes I made were to use 1/2 cup diced red onion instead of 1/2 of an onion...a half of my onion would have been about 1 cup (too much).  I also added 3/4 cup slivered almonds which was nice.  Very easy to make and my family loved it sandwich-style in pita bread pockets with cucumber and tomato slices.

Great for a hot summer day or anytime. I put it in a tortilla and made a roll up.  Very delicious

This is pretty darned delicious. My husband loves feta so it's a no brainer. I followed the recipe and it's good.

I don't know but I think we may have messed up the recipe because it wasnt very good at all. Way too creamy. Didn't seem like there was enough chicken. 

Great recipe! I added sun dried tomatoes as another reviewer suggested. Definitely a keeper.

I had some left over roast chicken from Wal-Mart deli and Feta that needed to be used. Used the search feature and this came up. My wife and I really loved it. Served with leaf lettuce for an informal build it yourself lettuce wrap.Definitely a keeper.I made no changes

I used light salad dressing and sour cream and this was so delicious. My husband loved it and he is a finicky one.

I just made this for lunch and it was awesome!!  I followed the recipe exactly and put it in a spinach flavored lavash. Will make again.  Thanks.

I made this recipe for my boyfriend, and we both loved it. The combination of feta, and dill along with everything else was a delicious. The only thing I did differently was I didn't add as much veggies as the recipe called for.

Great flavor and very easy to make. We loved it, I made it exactly as is. Will be making this a lot this summer.

I served this on toasted wheat english muffins with lettuce and pickles. Mixed reviews here between DH and I. He absolutely loved it, but I think regular chicken salad is better. The only two things I changed was leaving out the red pepper because we both dislike it strongly and adding garlic salt. I will make it again sometime since he liked it so much. 

I enjoyed this.  I'm not a huge fan of dill weed, so I didn't add very much.  I added extra feta, &amp; some sliced almonds for a little crunch.

Five stars and a plus!  Very good recipe, don't change a thing unless you have to. I substituted white onion for red, otherwise, I made the recipe as is.  Can't wait to fix for the next ladies luncheon!

I added chives and omitted celery and this was a hit! Easy, delicious and a great make-ahead for lunches! Love it

Yummy! Great alternative to a traditional
Salad

I needed to use up some chicken, but was short some of the ingredients.  Even without the pepper, onion, and sour cream the recipe was super tasty.  My husband was skeptical to eat his green sandwich (I used extra dill for flavour), but it received rave reviews.  

This is my new favorite chicken salad recipe. I used left over chicken breasts, tomato basil feta, skipped on the red pepper (allergy) and added sun dried tomatoes as a previous review suggested (thank you for the great idea!!). I followed the rest of the recipe as written. It vanished so fast at my potluck! I'm going to leave out the dill next time and add more sun dried tomatoes(I used the kind packed in oil, I patted them semi-dry before adding to mix). Thank you for the great recipe!

I loved this recipe!!! I put orange, yellow and red peppers in it 1/4 of each.  It looks very festive and would be great for a large crowd.  I might try and add some garlic powder next time I make it but not much it has lots of flavor just the way it is.

Super yummy and fast.  Quite pretty too :)  I added two roma tomatoes and some garlic salt.  Kids LOVED it!!  Thanks for the great recipe!

Wow!  I will definitely make this again.  Followed the recipe as written but I never measure anything, (I always eyeball)....and as much as I LOVE red onion, it tends to be very strong, and once I cut up half of the onion it looked like it was going to be way to much for this recipe so I didn't add it all.  I have another chicken recipe that I like to make but I can't wait to try this one out on others.  Thank you! :-)

Delicious! I read the reviews and added pretty much whatever I had on hand and my husband, friends, and in-laws all raved about it and wanted the recipe. Thank you!

5 stars is the equivalent of an Oscar, just so ya know. This chicken salad is interesting, original, and delicious. I only made 1/2 of the recipe and added the feta to taste. I can't see it as a sandwich filling but as a spread on snooty crackers or crostini, this is a gourmet worthy recipe. :o)

This flavor is terrific.  Very easy too.  I used the meat from a rotisserie chicken, no skin, as it's too hot to cook one.  Also I used just about 1/2 a red pepper, personal preference. Everything else the same.  Very good taste.  The feta is not overpowering, it's just a little different than the usual chicken salad.

It was awesome!!  My friends loved it as well!!!

This was the best chicken salad ever. I took it to a ladies luncheon and it was a great hit!! Didn't change a thing!!

I loved this recipe....the only way I will make Chicken salad from now on....I did make a few changes according to what I had on hand
I used fresh Dill weed
green onions instead of red
had no feta cheese so I used shredded cheddar
ommited the celery 
and used light sour cream

YUMMY!!!  My 4 year old loved it on a whole grain tortilla with fresh tomatoes.



GREAT recipe with a couple of minor changes,  1/4 red onion and one clove of garlic. I used fresh dill, and had it on oatmeal bread and it was fantastic. Thank you for sharing!

made this salad this morning (grilled the chicken breasts last night) and had it for lunch. In the future I will use more mayo than sour cream, instead of 50/50. To me, there was too much "sour cream taste", which I am not accustomed to in chicken/shrimp/potato salads.

update: I make this for company in the summer, as everyone loves it. I've modified to 8T mayo, 4T sour cream, plus instead of chopping veggies, I just use one container of the Trinity Mix from the grocery store - it comes out to 1.5c total of onioon, celery, green pepper, so perfect blend.

My first chicken salad ever, and this was excellent!! I followed the recipe almost exactly, using just a bit less onion as a few people suggested. ONE ADDITION: 1/4 c. of chopped sundried tomatoes in olive oil. It was the perfect missing ingredient and I got a LOT of compliments!

Salad was good, but I thought the dill was a little too strong.  I'm going to make this salad again but use thyme in place of the dill.  Thanks for the recipe.

Awesome! Wonderful for a lo-carber. My hubby doesn't like peppers so we use roma tomatoes. Very tastey wrapped in lettuce or on whole grain bread.

Delicious!  I used nonfat yougurt instead of the sour cream to lower calories and fat.  Adding some toasted almonds and grapes made it easy to do without the bread.  A keeper!

Was craving chicken salad and found this recipe.  I love feta and the flavor of dill - really puts a new twist on chicken salad...an instant favorite!

The sour cream and feta make it less mayonnaise-y than most which we liked. I recommend this recipe.

Tart when first made, then gave it 2 hours refrigerator time for sweet red bell pepper flavor to pop. Was delighted to find that canned chicken worked well in this recipe.

Fabulous for left overs!  I substituted thyme for the dill.  Delicious as I'm sure the dill would be!

I knew this was going to be good, and it was! But I also LOVE feta and dill. I used fresh dill instead of dried. Thanks for sharing. Will be making this one often in the summertime!

I took this recipe and changed the servings to 50 for a Bridal shower.  The new measurements called for 2 whole onions and I added 3/4 of one medium onion and it was oniony enough; With that in mind, I advise everyone to watch the measurement of onion this recipe calls for and go easy.  You can always add more if you want more but you can't take away...  With all that, it was still a really good chicken salad and everyone at the shower loved it.  It's a keeper recipe!

I made it without mayo, and dill but instead I added some goat cheese, basil and oregano for flavor.  It was delicious.  

Made this exactly as the recipe stated, and was wowed by the taste. The feta/dill combination was wonderful! This is definitely a keeper.

This recipe was tasty. I prepped it ahead of time and took it camping. It kept well and made a hearty and tasty lunch. I used canned chicken, which worked just fine, but it probably would have been much tastier with the chicken breasts.

This is the best chicken salad! when i made it I used canned chicken, sounds gross looks gross but tastes great! also I used tomato basil feta and used a whole 8 oz (I believe) it was a little over powering but I love love love feta ! I am a young college student so this lasted me all week I put it on everything bagels and took it with me to work my boyfriend loved it as well.

Made this with vegetarian "chicken" and it turned out fantastic! I didn't have sour cream so I just used more mayo. I served mine over pasta and made it into a sort of pasta/chicken salad. It was great--these flavors all blend really well.
