50% Chicken. 50% Fruits & Veggies. 100% Delicious.

Lemme introduce you to my latest and greatest lightened up creation, Rotisserie Chicken Salad.

I have never been a big chicken salad person. It was always too heavy, too mayo-forward, and never had enough crunch for my liking. But, no longer shall we dwell in the ways of the past!! No more sad chicken salad. I took it upon myself to make a lightened up version that is still crazy flavorful but doesn;t weigh you down after a few bites

The key swaps I made to ~health-ify~ & customize this chicken salad were simple. I added in greek yogurt for creaminess, tossed in more grapes for crunch, and added in a splash of dijon mustard for tanginess. It is so simple, so refreshing, & just so, SO good.

So, without further ado, here is the recipe! Enjoy.

Once your rotisserie chicken salad is ready to go, serving it up is fully customizable to you! Here are a couple of my favorites:

Chicken Salad Lettuce Cups: serve the chicken salad with stalks of romaine & eat ’em like a wrap.
Chicken Salad Pita: serve your chicken salad up in a warmed pita or even with a side of pita chips for dipping.
Chicken Salad Cucumber Bites: slice up cucumbers and spoon bite-sized portions of chicken salad onto each slice.
All by itself: Seriously, this chicken salad is so tasty it doesn’t need anything but itself to really shine.

I hope you enjoy this simple chicken salad recipe as much as I do! Have an amazing week people. LOVE YOU.
