Instructions

Combine the main ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded chicken, chopped hard boiled eggs, finely chopped celery, chopped dill pickles, and chopped scallions. Mix these ingredients gently to integrate them.
Prepare the dressing: In a separate small bowl, mix together the sweet relish, chopped fresh dill, garlic powder, mayonnaise, sour cream, yellow mustard, and salt and pepper to taste until smooth and well combined.
Add the dressing to the chicken mixture: Pour the prepared dressing over the chicken and vegetable mixture in the large bowl.
Combine well: Toss all the ingredients together thoroughly to ensure the dressing coats every piece, blending the flavors evenly throughout the salad.
Serve: Spoon the finished chicken salad onto fresh croissants or thick bread slices for a delightful sandwich or serve as is for a light meal.

Notes

For best flavor, chill the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Feel free to substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream to lighten the dressing.
Use fresh dill if possible for a brighter taste, but dried can be used in a pinch.
This salad can be prepared ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Adjust salt and pepper according to personal taste.
