Patti Thai’rific Chicken Salad is my recipe of the day. This is a copycat version of the seasonal Thai chicken salad served at Chicken Salad Chicks. I did a side by side taste test and mine is very close.

Recently someone was asking me about this version of their chicken salad. Strangely enough, I wasn’t even aware of it being on their menu. I promised to get up there and grab some to give it a taste. And I did.

I noticed some flavors similar to the Copycat Trader Joe’s Thai Lime and Chili Cashews recipe I did earlier. So I did use that in this recipe. That one is not too much trouble to make if you can get Thai lime leaves. Otherwise you can grab some cashews at Trader Joe’s.

Beyond that, it is not dissimilar to the Classic Carol salad, although there are changes. I really like the salad and am glad I got the heads up to be able to make it before they take it off the menu. It is a seasonal or limited time recipe there.

  1. Hi there!! I was excited to find this copycat recipe, because this is my favorite chicken salad that Chicken Salad Chick makes. However, I don’t have an instant pot. Could this been done on stove top or in a crockpot? If so, how could I go about cooking the chicken?
