Chicken Salad with Rotisserie Chicken (Edit recipe)

I love an easy no-bake recipe for the summertime, and chicken salads are one of my go-tos for a quick lunch. You can make a big batch and enjoy it all week long. Sometimes I'll meal prep chicken at the start of the week, and other times I'll grab a gluten free rotisserie chicken to keep things even simpler. If you use a rotisserie chicken, be sure to remove the meat while it's still warm—it’s much easier that way. Taking the meat off the bones when it's cold can be a hassle! This is one of my favorite chicken salad recipes, perfect when I want something a little more fun. I enjoy using a rotisserie chicken because sometimes I find myself snacking on it fresh and warm from the store, searching for a way to use up the rest after it's cold. It's already prepared and full of flavor, so it's a wonderful base for any meal. You can also substitute the rotisserie with cooked chicken breasts or even dark meat. If you're allergic to nuts or avoiding added sugar, feel free to omit the nuts or skip the craisins. With so many options, you can make it your own every time.

Ingredients

Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
  1. Cut chicken into small cubes and place into a mixing bowl.
  2. Add in scallions, craisins, and almonds. Toss together.
  3. Add in mayo and mix all ingredients until fully incorporated. You may need to add slightly more mayo than the recipe calls for depending on the amount of chicken used or based on your preferred chicken salad texture.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste, if desired.
  5. Serve over a salad, nestled in your favorite gluten free bread or wraps, or eat straight from the bowl!

Notes

When using a store-bought rotisserie chicken, remove the meat from the bones while it's still warm. However, allow the chicken to cool completely before adding the mayo to avoid it becoming runny. Feel free to adjust the amount of mayo in the recipe according to your taste preferences.
