Notes
- Rotisserie chicken works well for this recipe, but any cooked, cooled chicken can be used.
- Shredded chicken holds the dressing better than diced chicken and gives the salad a creamier texture.
- Taste the dressing before adding the chicken, and adjust the salt as needed. Rotisserie chicken may already be salty, so you may not need a lot of added salt.
- Chilling the salad before serving helps the flavors blend and gives the best texture.
- Store leftover chicken salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
- Do not freeze chicken salad. The creamy dressing may separate, and the grapes and celery can become watery after thawing.
