Flavorful Creamy Honey Mustard Chicken Salad is made with tender rotisserie chicken, crisp celery, toasted slivered almonds and all coated in a sweet and tangy honey mustard sauce. It’s an ideal summer lunch!

Chicken salad is one of the best hot weather dishes. It’s a no cooking required recipe, you can prep it ahead of time making it an excellent option for get togethers or picnics, and there’s so many ways to season it and to serve it.

This creamy honey mustard chicken salad is a welcome change from the same traditional, mildly seasoned chicken salad.

To serve it you can keep it traditional and layer in some sort of bread such as hearty sandwich bread, French bread, sourdough, or rye. Or upgrade it and serve it in homemade buns, or croissants.

Then if you want to make it low carb simply serve it in romaine lettuce leaves, and to keep it really simple instead just chop everything small and serve it from a bowl with some larger crackers for dipping.

For those of you that love crispy chicken tenders, chicken nuggets, or a chicken sandwich paired with a creamy honey mustard sauce (like Chick-fil-A) this is the chicken salad for you! It’s such a satisfying upgrade on a classic chicken salad.
