If you're a fan of tangy and savory flavors, this Lightened-Up Dill Pickle Chicken Salad might just be your new favorite dish. This unique salad combines tender shredded chicken with crunchy pickle, green onions, and a generous amount of dill, all mixed together with a creamy dressing.

The result is a refreshing and zesty salad that is perfect for sandwiches, wraps, or enjoying on its own. Give this Dill Pickle Chicken Salad a try for a delightful twist on a classic dish.

I kept this chicken salad light by using a lower fat cream cheese and mayonnaise. I also used boneless, skinless chicken breast that I cooked up in the instant pot in no time at all. The end result was this tasty take on a chicken salad that has a tangy zip of pickle goodness.

This is great when served with crackers or other veggies for scooping. This is a great thing to make ahead and have on hand in the fridge for make-ahead lunches!
