Easy Chicken Tarragon Salad

I love chicken salad, and this one is my current favorite.  I am happy to report that almost every member of my family has tried it as well, and let's just say there are never any leftovers.  It goes fast!

Easy Chicken Tarragon Salad


1-2 cooked chicken breasts, diced
2-3 stalks celery, diced
handful of dried cranberries (craisins) optional
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon tarragon, or to taste

Mix all together.  Chill.  Serve on bed of lettuce or on slices of whole wheat or 7 grain bread.



I think the secret these days to any good potato or chicken salad is the 50-50 ratio of mayonnaise to sour cream.  I feel that it tastes much better this way.  This is easy, and just plain good!

    1. reply below, figuring this thing out, LOL! Hard to find fresh, but I love the dried anyway. A little goes a long way.....

  3. A leafy herb with a very distinct taste, not too different from fennel (very mild licorice?) hard to describe but really good in french cooking, great on most chicken dishes......
