Ingredients

1 whole roasted chicken, meat off
½ cup finely chopped celery⁣
1 lemon, juiced⁣
⅓-1/2 cup mayonnaise⁣
¼ teaspoon salt⁣
½ teaspoon pepper⁣
1 teaspoon Creole Seasoning⁣

Instructions

Chop the chicken:

Put chicken meat in a food processor and pulse a few times to roughly chop. Continue pulsing for about 30 seconds until the chicken is finely chopped. If you turn "on" the food processor, your chicken will become a "paste" instead; use the pulse method until it's very finely chopped.

Combine:

⁣In a bowl, combine lemon juice, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, and Creole seasoning. Blend well.⁣
⁣Toss chicken into the bowl, combine a few times with a spatula and add finely chopped celery.⁣
