Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

½ cup cream cheese, softened

½ cup mayonnaise

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

½ cup jalapeños, diced (fresh or pickled, according to preference)

¼ cup green onions, sliced

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup celery, finely chopped (for crunch)

Instructions
 

In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and well blended.

    Add the shredded chicken to the bowl and stir to coat evenly with the cream cheese mixture.

      Incorporate in the shredded cheddar cheese, diced jalapeños, sliced green onions, chopped celery, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix all ingredients until well combined.

        Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.

          Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.

            When ready to serve, give the salad a gentle stir and garnish with a few extra slices of jalapeño and green onions if desired.

              Serve chilled on its own, on lettuce leaves, or as a filling in keto-friendly wraps.
