Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
  • 2 celery stalks finely chopped
  • ¼ cup red onion finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup red grapes cut in half (optional)
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans or walnuts optional

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
    Remove and Shred the Chicken
    1. Take the meat off the rotisserie chicken. Remove the skin and bones. Shred the chicken into bite-sized pieces using two forks. Place everything into a large mixing bowl.
    Prepare the Fresh Vegetables
    1. Wash the celery, parsley, and onion well. Chop them into very small pieces. Smaller pieces spread evenly through the salad and create a better texture in every bite.
    Mix the Creamy Dressing
    1. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well until the dressing becomes smooth and creamy.
    Combine Everything Together
    1. Pour the dressing over the shredded chicken. Add chopped celery, onion, parsley, grapes, and nuts if using. Mix gently until every ingredient is coated with the creamy dressing.
    Taste and Adjust Seasoning
    1. Taste the chicken salad before chilling. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if needed. Stir gently again without breaking the chicken into very small pieces.
    Chill Before Serving
    1. Cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap. Refrigerate the chicken salad for at least 30 minutes. This helps the flavors blend together and improves the taste.
    Stir the Salad Again
    1. Remove the salad from the refrigerator. Stir gently before serving. If the mixture feels too thick, add one tablespoon of mayonnaise or yogurt to refresh the texture.
    Serve and Enjoy
    1. Serve the chicken salad cold inside croissants, sandwiches, lettuce wraps, or with crackers. It also tastes wonderful over fresh lettuce for a healthy and filling meal.
