    Why This Recipe Works

    The idea of this rotisserie Chicken Salad came about after a church potluck where I had a really good chicken sandwich.

    After the potluck, I stopped off to pick up a rotisserie chicken and came straight home to try and recreate the recipe.

    To give the chicken salad a spicy kick, I added a few Serrano peppers. Adding some fresh dill seemed like a great idea too. After all, who doesn't love dill, right?

    I didn't have grapes, so I substituted one diced apple instead; I ended up liking it much more than grapes. My favorite apple variety is Pink Lady, but feel free to use whatever variety you like.

    Although I didn't add walnuts initially, I have since. Walnuts give the salad a nice crunch.

    What Goes in This Recipe

    How to Make This Recipe

    Add cubed chicken to a medium-sized bowl, along with the celery, dill, serranos, onion, craisins, and apple.

    Refrigerate the chicken salad for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy over a green salad, with crackers, or in a sandwich.

    Serving Suggestions

    • Of course, you can eat the chicken salad straight out of the container, but let's expand our horizons a bit, shall we?
    • For one thing, it goes great on whole-wheat sesame cracker; talk about a filling snack!
    • Another great way to serve it is in a croissant sandwich.
    • Or, how about stuffing some in home-made pita bread?

    Expert Tips

    • If you add walnuts to the salad, make sure not to add them until you're ready to serve the chicken salad. This is so that they can retain their crunch.
    • A healthy way to enjoy this salad is over a sweet kale salad.
