Nothing better than Homemade Sam’s Club Chicken Salad: a delicious lunch option with shredded rotisserie chicken and a creamy, flavorful dressing.

The chicken salad is the choice for a quick and satisfying meal. Two months ago, I shared one of my favorite recipes, La Madeleine Chicken Salad Recipe. It was just Wow and packed with flavor.

But today, I tried a new and more straightforward recipe called Sam’s Club Chicken Salad. This is super easy and delicious, made with just a few ingredients like shredded rotisserie chicken, diced celery, onions, and a creamy dressing.

I usually love to enjoy it as a filling for croissants because its creamy texture complements the buttery croissant perfectly. It’s a great option for lunch or a light dinner, offering convenience without sacrificing taste.

What is Sam’s Club Chicken Salad?

Sam’s Club Chicken Salad typically refers to a prepared chicken salad sold at Sam’s Club stores. It usually consists of shredded or diced chicken mixed with mayonnaise or a mayo-based dressing, along with various ingredients like celery, onions, and sometimes herbs or spices.

How to make Sam’s Club Chicken Salad

Ingredients

• 1 rotisserie chicken (about 3 pounds), shredded with skin and bones removed (about 5-6 cups shredded chicken)
• 3 stalks of celery, diced (about 1 1/4 cup)
• 1/4 large diced onion (about 1/2 cup)
• 1-2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf fresh Italian parsley
• 3/4 cup light Miracle Whip (or light mayonnaise)
• 1/4 cup milk
• Black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1:

• Place the shredded chicken, diced celery, diced onion, and chopped parsley in a large mixing bowl.

Step 2:

• In a 2-cup glass measuring cup or medium-sized bowl, combine the Miracle Whip and milk. Stir the mixture for 1-2 minutes until it is completely combined.

Step 3:

• Add the Miracle Whip mixture to the large bowl with the chicken and vegetables. Stir to combine.

Step 4:

• Add black pepper to taste. If you are using rotisserie chicken, you probably won’t need to add salt. If you use cooked chicken, you may want to add salt to taste.

Tips

• If you prefer a lighter dressing, you can adjust the amount of Miracle Whip or mayonnaise and milk to achieve the desired consistency.

• Allow the salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This helps the flavors to meld together.

• Taste the salad before serving and adjust the seasoning if necessary. You might want to add more black pepper or a pinch of salt.

• Feel free to customize your salad with additional ingredients like chopped apples, grapes, or nuts for added crunch and flavor.

How to serve Sam’s Club Chicken Salad

My favorite way to enjoy Sam’s Club Chicken Salad is stuffed into a croissant or a small roll, making it perfect for sandwiches. It’s also great served on a bed of crisp lettuce for a light and refreshing meal. If you like a quick snack, serve it with crackers for more variety.

For a unique twist, spoon it into a hollowed-out tomato. You can also use it as a filling for wraps, adding some fresh veggies for extra crunch. This versatile salad can easily be adapted to suit your taste and meal preferences.

How to store

To store the Sam’s Club Rotisserie Chicken Salad, transfer it into an airtight container or cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Place the salad in the refrigerator where it can be stored for up to 3-4 days. Before serving again, give it a gentle stir to evenly distribute the dressing. Proper refrigeration helps maintain freshness and ensures food safety.
