Pulled Chicken Salad

It’s been SOOO hot here in St. Louis, I’ve been looking for meals that won’t heat up my kitchen, so last week we decided on sandwiches.

Store-bought rotisserie chicken is always perfect chicken salad! This Pulled Chicken Salad recipe is our favorite go-to chicken salad recipe for sandwiches or to serve on a bed of lettuce. 

I usually have pulled rotisserie chicken from Costco in my freezer, but if I’m in a real hurry, I’ve even made this pulled chicken salad with canned chicken……..use what you have! This recipe is one to keep on hand all year long.

What Do I Put In Rotisserie Pulled Chicken Salad

This pulled chicken salad is so tasty and can be adjusted to fit your favorite tastes. I think the addition of BBQ sauce and lots of crunch from fresh celery and carrots make this chicken salad perfect for summer. 

The list of ingredients for any chicken salad is really about what you like. But, if you start with homemade mayonnaise or a good quality store-bought mayo and rotisserie chicken you’re halfway to a delicious pulled chicken salad!

  • grapes
  • apples
  • dried cranberries or cherries
  • raisins

WANT A LITTLE CRUNCH

  • walnuts
  • cashews
  • celery

WANT A LITTLE TANG (ADD A LITTLE)

  • mustard

WANT TO CHANGE THE FLAVOR/SEASONING
