Prepare the Chicken Salad Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped rotisserie chicken, diced dill pickles, and sliced green onions. Gently toss everything together until well mixed. The combination of juicy chicken, crisp pickles, and fresh onions will form the perfect base for your salad.
Make the Creamy Dressing: In a separate medium bowl, add the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, dill pickle juice, dried dill, and garlic powder. Use a hand mixer to blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. This dressing should be thick but spreadable, with a tangy aroma from the pickle juice.
Combine and Season: Pour the prepared dressing over the chicken mixture. Using a large spoon or spatula, toss until every piece of chicken is evenly coated. Taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking. The dressing will thicken as it chills, creating that classic, creamy chicken salad texture.
Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until well chilled. This step allows the flavors to meld and the dill to fully infuse the salad.
Enjoy Your Chicken Salad: Once cold, serve the chicken salad however you like:
On a Costco keto bun or any sandwich roll for a satisfying lunch.
With crisp crackers for dipping.
Wrapped in lettuce leaves for a fresh, low-carb option.
