Crispy Chicken Salad Fresh

# What You Need:

01 - 3 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded or chopped

02 - 1/2 cup mayonnaise

03 - 1/2 cup celery, finely diced

04 - 1 cup seedless red grapes, halved

05 - 4 cups mixed salad greens (romaine, arugula, spinach)

06 - 1/4 cup sliced almonds or pecans (optional)

07 - Salt and black pepper, to taste

08 - 2 tablespoons fresh chives or parsley, chopped (optional)

01 - In a large bowl, gently toss the shredded rotisserie chicken, mayonnaise, diced celery, and halved grapes until evenly coated.

02 - Add salt and black pepper to taste, mixing lightly to distribute the seasoning.

03 - Evenly arrange the mixed salad greens on four individual plates or a large serving platter.

04 - Spoon the chicken mixture over the bed of salad greens.

05 - Sprinkle with sliced almonds or pecans if desired, then garnish with chopped fresh chives or parsley.

06 - Serve immediately to enjoy the crisp textures and fresh flavors.

01 -

It comes together in 15 minutes flat, perfect for when you want something nourishing without the fuss.
The contrast between creamy chicken and crisp greens feels indulgent while staying genuinely light.
It's forgiving enough to customize based on what's in your fridge, so it never feels boring.

02 -

If you prep this more than a few hours ahead, the greens will start to wilt, so assemble just before eating unless you're keeping the chicken mixture and greens completely separate.
The quality of your rotisserie chicken matters more than you'd think; a flavorful one makes the entire salad taste better even before seasoning.

03 -

Halve your grapes by hand rather than slicing them; they stay juicier and maintain better texture throughout the salad.
Toast your almonds or pecans in a dry skillet for just a minute or two before adding them; this brightens their flavor and makes them stay crunchier longer.
