This delicious Rotisserie Chicken Salad recipe is super easy to prepare. Using rotisserie chicken in this recipe not only adds amazing flavor, but it also saves you a ton of time! This means that this chicken salad is ready in under 30 minutes!

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.

In a separate bowl, mix the dressing ingredients, and pour over the chicken mixture. Gently mix to combine.

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.
