BEST CHICKEN SALAD RECIPE 🥓

Say goodbye to the days of lunch that look like sliced turkey and American cheese slapped between two pieces of wonder bread. Instead try this Bacon Ranch Chicken Salad that turns plain chicken into the delicious lunch of your dreams. It's a great recipe that the whole family will love! 🥓

STORE IT!

🥓 Store in separate airtight containers for 4-5 days. This chicken salad is fabulous for meal prep. Make a big batch at the beginning of the week and enjoy all week long!

TIPS FOR COOKING BACON!

🥓 I recommend baking the bacon. Baked bacon is best in my opinion and keeps in the most flavor and moisture. 15 minutes at 400°F works great. However, to quickly cook the bacon, instead of heating up the entire oven for just a few slices, you could also use the microwave. To cook bacon in the microwave, place slices on a microwave safe plate between paper towel. Microwave for 4-5 minutes or until the bacon is crisp.
