Bacon Gorgonzola Chicken Salad
Tags: bacon, blue cheese dressing, celery, chicken, gorgonzola, mayonnaise, salad, snack, superbowl
Chicken Salad is such a great recipe to serve at parties. You can serve it with some great crackers or inside a fabulous soft roll and everyone seems to be happy! Wait until you try my flavor packed Bacon Gorgonzola Chicken Salad. It has crispy bacon pieces gorgonzola cheese throughout.
I love that you just toss all of your ingredients in one bowl, stir and you are ready enjoy. Perfect for game day munching or lunches during the week. Enjoy!
Let’s start with some cooked shredded chicken breast. You can either use a rotisserie chicken and shred it or bake your own and shred it. I like to place 2 chicken breasts into a baking pan with 1/4 cup chicken broth, cover lightly with foil and bake for 50-60 minutes until cooked through. Let rest for 15 minutes before shredding.
Finely chop 2 small stalks of celery. You’ll add bacon slices, Gorgonzola, mayonnaise and blue cheese dressing. Click HERE to see a 6 second video from Vine of the salad getting put together 
1 tablespoon finely chopped thyme leaves.
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice.
Ahhh, stir all together and get ready to enjoy!
Can’t you practically taste the bacon pieces inside?!

Thanks for the chicken baking tip! What temperature do you bake it at? I like cooking mine in the crock-pot because the chicken stays so moist but it takes too long!

Gorgonzola and chicken …yuuuuum, what a beautiful marriage !
Thank you for the chicken salad recipe. Always looking for good ones!
This was REALLY good. My only recommendation would be to add some cut up grapes or apples. With all the saltiness going on in the bacon, cheese, and dressing I think it could use a bit of sweetness to break it up. Otherwise we ate it up for days (made a double batch).
