Instructions
Prep the chicken
- Chop or shred the cooked chicken into small, bite-sized pieces. You want it chunky but not huge.
Mix the creamy base
- In a large bowl, stir together mayonnaise, mustard, salt, pepper, and sugar until smooth.
Add the crunch
- Fold in the diced celery and sweet pickle relish. Mix gently.
Combine with chicken
- Add the chicken to the bowl and stir until everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust
- This is important. Taste it. Add more salt, pepper, or a tiny bit more relish if needed.
Chill before serving
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors settle and come together.
