In a mixing bowl, add the chopped chicken.

Add seasonings: salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and parsley flakes to the chicken and fold them in.

Add the chopped vegetables (celery, pickles, and red onions) and the chopped egg to the bowl and fold them in well.

Add sweet relish and a generous amount of mayonnaise to the mixture, ensuring enough mayo is added to prevent drying out in the refrigerator.

Mix everything together until well incorporated and serve as a salad or make a sandwich with bread, lettuce, and tomatoes.
