Ingredients
Instructions
- 1If not already cooked, cook chicken breasts by boiling or baking until fully cooked. Let cool slightly, then shred into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
- 2In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, finely chopped parsley, chives, tarragon, dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined and smooth. This is your Green Goddess dressing.
- 3Add the shredded chicken and diced celery to the bowl with the dressing. Gently fold until all ingredients are thoroughly coated.
- 4Taste the chicken salad and adjust seasonings (salt, pepper, lemon juice) as needed to your preference.
- 5Cover the bowl and refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and chill thoroughly. This also helps the salad to firm up slightly.
- 6To serve, spoon the Green Goddess Chicken Salad generously onto slices of your favorite sandwich bread. Alternatively, serve in lettuce cups for a lighter, gluten-free option.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream?
Yes, you can substitute plain Greek yogurt for sour cream to reduce fat and increase protein. The flavor will be slightly tangier, but it works well.
How far in advance can I make this chicken salad?
You can prepare the chicken salad up to 2-3 days in advance. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The flavors often improve overnight.
What other herbs can I use if I don't have tarragon?
If tarragon is unavailable, you can increase the amounts of parsley and dill, or add a pinch of dried tarragon. Chervil is also a good substitute if you can find it.
