I don’t know about you, but I love to make a batch of deviled eggs and eat it them throughout the week. They’re pretty easy to make, and they’re ready for you when you need them – breakfast, snack, lunch or dinner. Know what else is always there for you when you need it? Chicken salad. Combine the two and you have one of my favorite snacks, Chicken Salad Picnic Eggs.
And what’s so great about chicken salad is that I never have to buy chicken for it, I just use my leftovers from other chicken dishes throughout the week. This week we bought a pre-roasted chicken at the store, and used the leftovers for this recipe! Easy peasy.
Since National Picnic Day is coming up, I thought I’d call these Chicken Salad Picnic Eggs – perfect to pack and bring with you! Here’s a scrumptious chicken salad recipe using some of my favorite ingredients (dill! lemon pepper!) and it’s cradled in a boiled egg, perfect for munching on as you need them — or right away if you can’t resist!

Why couldn’t you just add the yolks to the chicken mixture?
🙂
I hate wasting anything I’m afraid!
You can definitely add them if you like! At the time I wasn’t sure about it, but I think it’d taste delish.
What a good idea! I need a snack I can grab out of the frig and this sounds good. I love Old Bay seasoning, too. I’m going to make this, I’m Type 2 diabetic.
I just made these tonight and the chicken salad is really good. I didn’t have celery salt so I left that out. I also didn’t have lemon pepper seasoning but did have something similar with garlic. I can’t wait to try with the boiled egg tomorrow.
