Key Ingredients:

Rotisserie Chicken: Pre-cooked rotisserie chicken makes this chicken salad incredibly easy to prepare. Just chop and mix.
Greek Yogurt & Mayonnaise: The creamy base of the dressing.
Dressing Additions: Fresh garlic, dijon mustard, and paprika.
Cucumber: Fresh chopped cucumber gives this salad texture. Be sure to scoop out most of the seeds to prevent the salad from becoming too watery.
Red Onion, Chives & Fresh Dill: Flavorful toppings that give the chicken salad a little oomph.

Dietary Swaps:

Gluten-Free: This chicken salad is naturally gluten-free, just ensure any store bought ingredients are labeled gluten-free.
Dairy-Free: Swap yogurt & mayo for dairy free versions.

Recipe Variations:

Try a different chicken. This recipe is great for using up leftover grilled chicken and even works with chopped chicken tenders.
Make it Mediterranean. Add chopped tomatoes, olives, and a sprinkle of feta cheese.
Add more crunch. Crispy crumbled bacon, sunflower or pumpkin seeds, or chopped pecans.
Make it a wrap by spooning it onto your favorite tortilla.

Tips & Recipe Notes:

Let rotisserie chicken cool before mixing with other ingredients.
Scoop out cucumber seeds before chopping to keep the salad from becoming watery. To remove even more moisture dab cucumber with paper towels.
If using dried dill, use ⅓ of the amount listed and adjust to taste from there.
