A delightful chicken salad recipe with a creamy texture and nutty crunch, perfect for sandwiches or as a standalone dish.
Combine the softened cream cheese, black pepper, seasoning salt, and garlic powder in a mixing bowl until smooth.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Fold in the cooked and shredded chicken and chopped walnuts into the creamy mixture.
Mix gently to maintain the texture of the chicken.
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.
Refrigerating enhances the flavor and makes it easier to spread.
Spread the chicken salad evenly on slices of bread to make sandwiches.
Trim the crusts for a more elegant presentation.
Cut the sandwiches into halves or quarters and serve.
Serve with a side of fresh greens or chips for a complete meal.
