Boil chicken in a minimal amount of water until cooked through.

Ensure all water is cooked out from the chicken to preserve its flavor; shred or cube the chicken.

Cook macaroni according to package directions until al dente.

Drain the macaroni and let it cool.

In a large bowl, combine the cubed chicken, cooked macaroni, mushroom soup (without adding water), Miracle Whip (or fat-free alternative), celery salt, diced green/yellow/red pepper, diced celery, and diced onions.

Season with salt, pepper, and paprika to taste.

Add cubed pickles to taste for a tangy flavor.

Mix all ingredients together until well combined.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Serve chilled.
