Creamy Spinach Artichoke Chicken Salad
This creamy spinach artichoke chicken salad combines tender chicken with all the flavors from the classic dip for a delicious twist. It’s an easy make-ahead meal that’s perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or crackers.
Spinch artichoke dip is one of my absolute favorite appetizers.
And we eat a lot of chicken salad in this house.
Since I like to keep chicken salad interesting, I often combine it with other flavors besides the usual suspects.
And this creamy spinach artichoke chicken salad is everything a fan of the dip could want in a lunch time sandwich filling.
The dressing is rich and creamy while the artichokes add a little tang and the spinach brings in a little freshness.
It’s perfect sandwiched between toast, stuffed into a wrap, or scooped onto crackers for quick lunches or easy dinners through the week.
You could even serve it over a bed of greens for some more veggie action.
Anyone who loves the dip, will absolutely love this twist on chicken salad!
Ingredients
To make this you’ll need:
- Chicken– I use chopped rotisserie chicken with the skin removed. You can also use leftover roast or grilled chicken.
- Celery– 3 diced stalks. If you hate celery, skip it.
- Spinach– Fresh baby spinach.
- Marinated artichoke hearts– Chop them. You can find them near the jarred olives or at the salad bar in the grocery store.
- Mayonnaise– Real full fat mayo and not mayonnaise style dressing or Miracle Whip.
- Sour cream– Full fat will give you the best flavor.
- Spices– Garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
How to Make
This spinach artichoke chicken salad couldn’t be easier to make!
Just stir all the ingredients together in a large mixing bowl until everything is evenly combined.
Serve in a sandwich or with crackers for dipping.
Enjoy!
Storing
Store this in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.
Tips and Tricks
- Adjust the seasoning to your preferences.
- If you want to add a little cheese action like you’d find in the dip, stir in a half cup or so of parmesan cheese.
- You don’t want to use spinach that is not baby spinach. Regular spinach has tougher, thicker stalks. And frozen spinach is too watery when it is thawed for this dip.
