Ingredients

Chicken Salad Ingredients

  • 12 ounces cooked chicken breast, finely chopped (about 2 breasts from a rotisserie chicken)
  • 1/3 cup light mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup celery, chopped
  • 1/3 cup red onion, diced (or scallions or chives as alternatives)
  • 2 tablespoons chicken broth (optional, for added moisture)
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped cooked chicken breast with light mayonnaise, chopped celery, diced red onion, and Dijon mustard. Add chicken broth if you want a moister salad.
  2. Season: Add seasoned salt and black pepper to taste. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
  3. Serve: Enjoy the chicken salad served over a fresh green salad, wrapped in a tortilla, or as a sandwich filling inside your favorite bread.

Notes

  • You can substitute rotisserie chicken with cooked chicken breast you prepare yourself.
  • If you prefer a tangier flavor, add a bit more Dijon mustard or a squeeze of lemon juice.
  • Use Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise for a lighter version.
  • For additional crunch, consider adding chopped apples or nuts like walnuts.
  • Chicken broth is optional but helps keep the salad moist.
