How to Make 4 Ingredient Chicken Salad

  1. Drain 1 cup of cooked chicken (rotisserie chicken works perfectly!). Shred the chicken using two forks.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken with 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup finely chopped celery, and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard.
  3. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Serve on your favorite bread or crackers, or enjoy it as is! Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
