Quick Gourmet Rotisserie Chicken Salad
This gourmet chicken salad comes together in minutes using shredded rotisserie chicken, crisp celery, red onion, and a creamy-tangy dressing. It’s perfect for meal prep making about a quart to keep in the fridge for sandwiches, salads, or even as a dip for fresh veggies throughout the week. In my tutorial, I piled it high on a toasted sweet Hawaiian roll, but it’s just as delicious over greens, tucked into a sandwich, or scooped with crackers.
