    🛒 Ingredient Notes

    There are only a few great ingredients for this Masters chicken salad.

    shredded chicken, salt, pepper, mayo, celery for masters chicken salad recipe
    • Shredded chicken: Here is the key to making this Masters chicken salad taste just like it does on the course, pressure cook your chicken. Pressure cooking gives the chicken the same texture as they serve on the course. It also allows you to infuse a bit of poultry seasoning, salt, and pepper in your meat.
    • Mayonnaise: Use a good quality mayo like Hellmann's mayo or Dukes. Do not use a sweet spread like Miracle Whip.

    ⭐️ See the recipe card for a complete list and quantities.

    🔪 Step-By-Step Instructions

    To make your chicken salad taste like what is served at the Masters I suggest using an Instant Pot for cooking your chicken. You can use roasted, baked, or boiled chicken, but the texture will not be quite the same.

    For complete directions on how to use an Instant Pot to make the chicken. Here is how to make the perfect Shredded Instant Pot Chicken Breast Recipe.

    Mixing Chicken Salad

    1. Place 4 cups of chicken in a medium size mixing bowl. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the chicken and toss to evenly coat the meat.
    2. Add mayonnaise and celery to the bowl. Stirring for 60 seconds or so to completely blend the chicken with the mayonnaise mixture.
    3. Serve on a brioche bun just like the Masters does.

    ⭐ Hint

    The Augusta National serves all their sandwiches in green compostable sandwich bags, just in case one gets away from a patron. They are not as noticeable on camera and they are better for the environment.

    To make your chicken salad sandwich authentic, order a box of these green compostable sandwich bags.

    🔀 Chicken Salad Add-Ins

    This is a classic chicken salad recipe that is great if you add in a few flavorful ingredients. However, just note, The Masters keeps their sandwiches simple.

    • Mix in 1/2 sliced grapes
    • Add 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or cashews.
    • Mix in 1/3 cup of sweet or dill pickle relish
    • If you like it spicy I highly suggest adding in a few tablespoons of diced Cowboy Candy (aka) pickled jalapenos.

    💭 Tip: How To Serve Chicken Salad At a Party

    If you are hosting a Masters Viewing Party you will want to look through these tips to make it easier to serve your guest the famous Masters chicken salad sandwich.

    • If serving chicken salad in a large bowl on a buffet table it is best to nest the serving bowl in another bowl that is a bit larger and filled with ice. This helps keep it chilled.
    • Do not leave chicken salad out for more than 2 hours. Bacteria grow rapidly at temperatures between 40 °F and 140 °F. If it has set out more than 2 hours, discard it.
    • To make serving a large crowd easier, you can make sandwiches a few hours before guests arrive. After all, this is how they do it at the Masters. Be sure and use green bags to place each sandwich in. Also, it is best to keep them chilled in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve.

    Tips: Masters Chicken Salad Recipe On Brioche Bun

    Can you freeze chicken salad?

    Chicken salad can be frozen however, the texture and taste might change a bit if there is mayonnaise, grapes, or hard-boiled chopped eggs in the salad.  

    How long does chicken salad last?

    If the chicken salad has been kept in an air-tight container in the refrigerator it can safely be eaten within 3 or 4 days.

    How long can chicken salad sit out?

    Chicken salad should not sit out more than 2 hours at room temperature.

    How many cups of shredded chicken does one chicken breast make?

    One 8-ounce boneless skinless chicken breast that has been cooked and shredded yields approximately 1 1/3 cups of chicken meat.

    What type of bread does the Masters serve its chicken salad on?

    The Masters serve their chicken salad on a buttery Brioche Bun.
