Ingredients
- 1 rotisserie chicken
- 3 ribs celery, chopped
- 1 shallot or ¼ cup red onion, chopped
- 1 lemon, juiced
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
Make the dressing:
- In a large bowl, combine the juice of 1 lemon, the mayonnaise, salt, and pepper.
Make the chicken salad:
- Remove the meat from the rotisserie chicken, discarding any skin and bones. Coarsely chop the chicken into pieces and add them into the bowl as you go.
- Add the chopped celery and shallot (or red onion) to the chicken bowl. Toss to combine the chicken salad with the dressing, until all pieces are coated well.
Chill & serve:
- The chicken salad can be enjoyed immediately or after chilling for 1 hour in the fridge to let it absorb the lemon flavor.
Storage:
- Refrigerate any leftover chicken salad for up to 4 days. I do not recommend freezing because the texture changes.
