Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 2 cups shredded chicken breast (you can use rotisserie chicken for convenience)
- ½ cup diced celery

- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard (optional, for extra tang)

- ¼ cup diced red onion (optional, for added crunch)
Instructions
- 1
If you’re using freshly cooked chicken, make sure it’s cooled down before shredding. I often use leftover rotisserie chicken because it saves time and tastes amazing. Shred the chicken finely with a fork.

In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded chicken, diced celery, mayonnaise (or Greek yogurt), salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well-combined.

For that extra flavor punch, I like to mix in a bit of Dijon mustard and a splash of fresh lemon juice. It brightens up the flavors and adds a slight tang that makes the salad irresistible!

Before serving, taste your chicken salad. If necessary, adjust the seasoning by adding extra salt or pepper. I also recommend chilling it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, as it allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
