Rotisserie Chicken Salad

Truly the easiest chicken salad you will ever make. Using a whole rotisserie chicken, deliciously fresh vegetables, and some extra seasoning for added flavor, it's perfect on it's own or paired with lettuce and tomato for the best sandwich of the season.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole medium/large rotisserie chicken - diced If you're buying an organic rotisserie chicken from a place like Whole Foods, it may be too small. I like to get my rotisserie chicken from the deli section of Harris Teeter.
  • ¾ cup finely diced celery
  • ½ cup finely diced red onion red onion adds better flavor!
  • fresh lemon juice to taste
  • ¾ cup mayonnaise I prefer Duke's mayo for a richer flavor
  • ½ tsp fine salt add more or less to taste
  • ½ tsp cracked black pepper add more or less to taste
  • ¾ tsp poultry seasoning

Method
 

  1. First, tear all of the meat off of a whole rotisserie chicken and chop it up incredibly well. I prefer to discard the skin as it becomes tough and a little rubbery when cold.
  2. Next, finely dice the celery and red onion.
  3. Add all of the ingredients to a large mixing bowl and mix well to ensure all of the mayo, seasoning, and vegetables are evenly distributed.
  4. Store in the refrigerator in an air-tight container and serve by itself with crackers or on a toasted roll with butterhead lettuce and thinly sliced tomato for the perfect Summer sandwich!
