Ingredients in Easy Chicken Salad
- Rotisserie chicken – I use rotisserie chicken to make things easier, but you can use leftover shredded chicken if you’d prefer.
- Celery
- Grapes
- Mayonnaise – You can use plain greek yogurt in place of the mayo, but it will make the sandwiches quite tart.
- Montreal chicken seasoning – I am truly obsessed with this seasoning – it makes this dish! I use this on everything all the time and highly recommend picking some up at your grocery store. But you can add your own seasonings instead if you need to.
How to Make This 5 Ingredient Chicken Salad Recipe
- Prep all of your ingredients by chopping up the grapes, celery and rotisserie chicken.
- Add all chopped ingredients to a large bowl with the mayo and Montreal chicken seasoning.
- Mix ingredients together.
- Serve in croissant rolls, on bread, with crackers, or in a wrap.
What are some good side dishes for this recipe?
Some of my favorite side dishes include green salads, fruit (like watermelon), chips, potato salad, and of course cookies.
Can I prep chicken salad sandwiches in advance?
Yes, you can! If you have the option, I recommend making the filling and storing it in the fridge (up to 3-5 days) until you are ready to use it. Then when you’re ready to eat, fill the croissants (or put it on the bread / crackers / tortilla) to help prevent soggy sandwiches!
How long can I keep the chicken salad in the fridge?
Store in the fridge for 3-5 days in an airtight container.
