  • Total Time: 0 hours
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lb chicken breast
  • 1 cup pickle brine
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp celery salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 3 celery stalks
  • 1/2 red onion
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1/2 cup dill pickles chopped
  • 1/2 cup mayo
  • 1/2 cup greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp pickle brine
  • 2 tsp dried dill or 1 tbsp fresh dill
  • 2 tsp dried chives
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 4 slices cooked bacon chopped – optional

Instructions

  1. Brine the chicken by placing the chicken breasts in a zip-top bag or shallow container. Pour pickle brine over the chicken, seal, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  2. Remove chicken from brine, pat dry, and rub with garlic powder, celery salt, onion powder, and black pepper. Cook in a cast iron skillet for 4-5 minutes per side until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let cool to room temperature.
  3. Make the dressing by whisking mayo, Greek yogurt, dried dill, dried chives, salt, black pepper, and pickle brine in a large bowl until smooth.
  4. Cut cooled chicken into chunks and add to a food processor with garlic, celery, and red onion. Pulse until finely chopped but not pasty.
  5. Combine the chicken mixture with dressing, add in chopped pickles, crumbled bacon, and fresh dill. Stir to combine, taste and adjust seasoning, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Notes

For a quicker option, use precooked or rotisserie chicken instead of brining fresh chicken.
Allowing the salad to chill for at least 30 minutes enhances the flavors before serving.
Feel free to omit the bacon for a lighter, healthier dish.
