Ingredients used

• Cooked, shredded chicken- You can boil chicken or use a rotisserie chicken or any leftover chicken you have on hand. 
• Scallions-  I love the light onion flavor you get from the green onions but you can use red onion if you prefer.
• Dill Pickles-  You can use any pickles you like in this.  I do like to use the more traditional dill pickle but you can use bread and butter pickles, spicy pickles, garlic pickles,
  
  sweet pickles, any you like. 
  
  
• Hardboiled eggs-  These add such great flavor to the chicken salad.
• Sweet relish-  I like to use sweet relish in mine but you can also use dill relish if you like. 
• Dill-  Fresh dill really gives this pickle chicken salad a great pickle flavor.  You can use dried if that is all you have on hand but make sure to use a little less.
• Mayonnaise-  Use a good quality mayo that you like. 
• Sour cream-  The sour cream helps add creaminess to lightness to this chicken salad recipe.  You can also use plain greek yogurt.
• Yellow mustard- This adds a great pop of flavor and really works well with the pickle flavor.  Dijon mustard would also be great in this. 
• Garlic Powder-  Garlic powder adds a great flavor. 
• Salt and Pepper-  Just a bit for flavor.
