Kneaders Chicken Salad Sandwiches Recipe

We’ve made dinner a “no-brainer” for you with this delicious recipe!
I love sandwiches from delis and restaurants, but no matter how hard I try, I can never seem to make the “perfect” sandwich at home!  My husband and I love to eat at a restaurant called Kneaders Bakery where they serve amazing sandwiches on freshly baked bread.  I could drool just thinking about it.  This recipe actually tasted like we were eating there but without having to leave home!

This recipe is so easy to throw together!  You can even make it earlier in the day and keep it in the fridge until you are ready to serve.  It makes a perfect summertime meal when you are in a hurry!

    Just a little tip- I used to work at Kneaders, and they also have Water Chestnuts and Dill Weed in the chicken salad. It'll taste good without it, but the extra crunch is my favorite part!

    @clskip, Kneaders just boils the chicken, but you could use the grill or the canned chicken. We would boil it so we could cut big chunks.

    Happy cooking! :D

    How did you prepared the chickens? Did you marinate it beforehand?

    Hi!

    I just boiled my chicken breasts in water without marinating them, but you could cook them anyway you would like. Thanks!

    This was delicious! Thank you for sharing. It is excellent with the dill weed in it. I also added a couple handfuls of almonds and threw them in the food processor for about 30 seconds. I added about a cup of finely shredded carrots as well. Be sure to add the carrots last and don't over stir or else your chicken salad will look a little too orange. :) Amazing!

    I like Kneaders but haven't had their chicken salad. I'll have to give it a try but I've never found a recipe I like better than the one I use which contains soy sauce. You can find it on my blog if you'd like to give it a try! It's fantastic!

    I made this the other day and it was delicious! I usually just toss chicken, mayo, chopped onion, salt and pepper...so your recipe was a little something different and it was yummy :) Thank you.

    I remember years ago Kneaders put grapes in their chicken salad. When did they stop doing this??

      Maybe 2 or 3 of the 12.5 ounce cans of chunk chicken breast.

    For the mayonnaise would you use Hellman's type mayo not Miracle Whip? Silly question!

    1. How many cups of chicken would you say is in one recipe? 2. What would be the most economical way to prepare this for 130 adults? Thank you! Sharon

      I would say around 3-4 cups chicken in each recipe. Depending on how big your servings are or the size of your roll/buns will determine how many servings you will get. You should easily be able to get 10 servings. To feed 130 you will need to make multiple batches. You can make it ahead of time. Store in the fridge for a few days, or you can freeze it if you need to make it earlier than that. Here is another one of our chicken salad recipes that serves about the same amount of people. https://www.sixsistersstuff.com/recipe/moms-chicken-salad-sandwiches/ Best of luck feeding the masses. :)

    We had this for dinner tonight - so good! I cut the recipe in half and it served three adults with leftover for another sandwich. I toasted the bread with some butter and olive oil in a pan first, which was really good. We served it with some garlic green beans. Thank you, this one is a keeper!
