Instructions

Cook chicken breasts then shred using two forks, set aside in a medium sized bowl

In a blender or food processor mix mayonnaise, sour cream, and 1/2 to a whole can of the chipotle peppers (the amount of peppers depends on your personal taste and how spicy you want it to be) and blend until smooth.

Add the chipotle mixture to the shredded chicken and onion. Mix until well combined.

Chill in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Smoke the Chicken First 🔥
Poach or grill your chicken breasts until just cooked through, then lightly char them to build a smoky flavor foundation that complements the chipotle peppers rather than competing with them.
Balance Spice with Sweetness 🌶️
Add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to your mayo-sour cream mixture to balance the heat from the chipotle and adobo sauce, creating depth instead of one-note spiciness.
Dice Vegetables Uniformly 🔪
Cut celery and onion into consistent small pieces so they distribute evenly throughout the salad and provide uniform texture bites in every spoonful.
Chill Before Serving ❄️
Refrigerate the finished salad for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld together and the creamy dressing to properly coat all ingredients for better flavor integration.
Taste and Adjust Seasonings Last 👅
Make your salad, let it rest, then taste it again before serving—the chipotle and adobo flavors intensify over time, so you may need less additional seasoning than expected.
