Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Here are some of my favorite tips to ensure your Rotisserie Chicken Salad turns out perfectly every time:

• For a little extra crunch, consider adding chopped nuts or seeds.
• If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute the mayo with more Greek yogurt.
• Feel free to customize the veggies based on what you have on hand. Bell peppers, carrots, or even grapes can add a delightful twist!
• For those who love a bit of spice, add a dash of hot sauce or some diced jalapeños.

How to Serve

This Chicken Salad Recipe Rotisserie is incredibly versatile! Here are some serving suggestions:

• Serve it on a bed of mixed greens for a light and refreshing meal.
• Spread it on whole-grain bread or a croissant for a delicious sandwich.
• Pair it with crackers or pita chips for a fun appetizer.
• Use it as a filling for lettuce wraps for a low-carb option.

Make Ahead and Storage

This salad is perfect for meal prep! You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Just keep it in an airtight container to maintain freshness. If you’re planning to serve it later, I recommend waiting to add any crunchy ingredients, like nuts or celery, until just before serving to keep everything crisp.
