Keto Chicken Salad (Classic Shredded Chicken Salad)

Add 2 ¼ pounds cooked, shredded chicken, 1 ¼ cups mayonnaise, 1 ¼ cups finely diced celery, ¼ cup minced onion (optional), 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, and 1 ½ - 2 teaspoons salt to large mixing bowl. Gently stir all ingredients together until well incorporated.

Once incorporated, add chicken broth to mixture in 1-tablespoon increments, stirring well after each addition to fully incorporate broth. Continue adding broth until desired salad consistency is achieved. See Notes.

Once desired consistency is achieved, taste salad mixture. Stir in additional mayonnaise, pepper, or salt as desired.

Serve chicken salad immediately, or cover bowl with lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour or until ready to serve.
