Rotisserie Chicken Salad Recipe

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

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. Although I didn't add walnuts initially, I have since because this salad is better with a variety of textures.
