Sharing my favorite chicken salad sandwich today! You have to try this Bacon Gorgonzola Chicken Salad. It’s loaded with chicken, bacon pieces and gorgonzola cheese throughout. Yum!
Chicken Salad Sandwich
I could eat chicken salad all week! Sharing one of my favorites today! 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! 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!

How to Make This Creamy Chicken Salad
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?!

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).
Thank you for the chicken salad recipe. Always looking for good ones!

Whoa man. Chicken salad is one of my guilty pleasures. This looks SO SO good. And I especially love celery in my chicken salad! Such a wonderful crunch!
Make the soup. Make the chicken salad. No-just make the chicken salad! It sounds killer.

We had chicken salad yesterday, but it was nothing compared to this!
I love the combination of bacon & gorgonzola in this chicken salad, perfect for game day!
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!
This sounds amazing. Nice change from the classic
