Notes

  • When using rotisserie chicken, I remove the skin from the breasts. You can leave it if you wish.
  • The consistency of this chicken salad is thick and creamy. If you like a really creamy salad, add additional mayo.
  • You can use canned chicken if you wish, though I would never recommend anyone eat chicken from a can. It’s typically high in sodium and contains other additives.
  • If you are looking to make the recipe with no mayo, use plain Greek yogurt or sour cream instead.

HOW TO ROAST CHICKEN BREASTS

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Add 2 chicken breasts to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
  3. Bake the chicken for 16-20 minutes until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Use a meat thermometer.
