Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 rotisserie chicken (about 5 cups of pulled chicken)

Vegetables

  • 1 cup diced celery
  • 1/2 cup diced onion

Dressing

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare Chicken: Remove the meat from the rotisserie chicken, then shred or chop it into bite-sized pieces to make it easier to mix and eat.
  2. Make Dressing: In a large bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, poultry seasoning, and salt. Mix these ingredients thoroughly to create a well-seasoned, creamy dressing base.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the shredded rotisserie chicken, diced celery, and diced onion into the bowl with the dressing. Stir everything together until all ingredients are evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Chill Salad: Cover and chill the chicken salad for 30 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld, resulting in a tastier, more refreshing salad.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute half or all of the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the brightest flavor.
  • Feel free to add chopped nuts or dried cranberries for extra texture and sweetness.
  • This salad keeps well refrigerated for up to 3 days.
  • Serve on a bed of lettuce, in sandwiches, or with crackers for versatile meals.
