Easy Publix Inspired Tarragon Chicken Salad
Easy Publix Inspired Tarragon Chicken Salad Recipe delivers the creamy texture and savory herb flavor you love from the famous deli counter.
Equipment
- Large Bowl
- whisk
- Silicone Spatula
Ingredients
- 4 c Rotisserie Chicken finely diced or shredded; cold
- ½ c Mayonnaise
- ¼ c Plain Greek Yogurt
- ¼ teaspoon Onion Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- ¼ teaspoon White Pepper
- 3 TBS Fresh Tarragon finely chopped
- ½ c Sliced Almonds toasted1
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, tarragon, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until completely smooth.
- Ensure rotisserie chicken is completely cold. Dice it into tiny, uniform pieces or use two forks to finely shred it. Use a sturdy spatula to fold it into the dressing.
- Fold in the toasted sliced almonds. Press and mix with the spatula, ensuring consistency becomes cohesive, mirroring a standard deli scoop.
- Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. The flavors—especially the tarragon—need a little time to wake up and meld into the dressing.
- Yield 4 cups
Tips/Notes
- Spread the sliced almonds in a single, even layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F for 5 to 7 minutes—shaking the pan halfway through—until they are fragrant and lightly golden, then transfer them immediately to a cool plate so they don't burn from the residual heat of the pan.
