Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by opening the can of high-quality chicken and draining it thoroughly to reduce excess moisture. Transfer the drained chicken to a large mixing bowl, using a fork to break it apart into smaller, shredded pieces.
- Next, scoop in a generous amount of mayonnaise and a splash of sour cream to the bowl. Use a spatula to thoroughly mix them with the chicken, achieving a smooth consistency—this should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Sprinkle in garlic and black pepper to taste, mixing well for another minute to distribute the spices throughout.
- Chop crispy bacon into bite-sized pieces and mix it into the salad along with shredded cheddar cheese, stirring everything together.
- Taste your chicken salad and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Serve the chicken salad on warm croissant bread or over a bed of fresh greens.
- If time allows, chill the salad in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving.
- Garnish your chicken salad with a sprinkle of fresh parsley or dill.
