If you love deli style chicken salad you are going to love the flavor of chicken salad made with a store bought rotisserie chicken.

This recipe only takes a few minutes to make.

And if you can wait a little bit and refrigerate it for a few hours or overnight the flavor only gets better.

We used to buy a delicious chicken salad from our local Sweetbay and Winn Dixie grocery stores but they both closed down.

This is my version of those grocery store chicken salad recipes.

This Rotisserie Chicken Salad tastes great in a wrap or on a ciabatta bun. Serve it with my Broccoli & Tomato Pasta Salad recipe and you have a nice little meal.

Ingredients

  • one rotisserie chicken
  • a combination of red, green, and yellow bell peppers, diced
  • celery, finely diced
  • yellow, white or red onion, finely diced
  • sliced green olives: are optional
  • sweet pickle relish
  • seasonings: salt, ground black pepper and celery seed
  • mayonnaise: I use Hellman's or Dukes.
  • sour cream

Directions

Step 1: Remove the skin from the rotisserie chicken and pull the meat from the bones. Finely dice the chicken and place in a bowl.

Step 2: Add the diced bell peppers, diced celery, diced onion, sliced olives (if using) and sweet pickle relish to the bowl with the cubed chicken. Use a large spoon to toss all the ingredients together.

Step 3: Add the mayonnaise and sour cream to the bowl. Toss until combined well.

Step 4: Season the salad with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 5: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight before serving.

Recipe FAQ's

How long does rotisserie chicken salad last?

Rotisserie chicken salad will last up to five days if refrigerated and stored in an airtight container. Never leave chicken salad on the counter to get warm. Any recipe made with mayonnaise should be refrigerated as soon as possible.

Recipe Expert Tips

  • Chicken salad sandwiches are delicious served with a pasta salad.
  • Cubed leftover cooked chicken can be used in place of the rotisserie chicken.
  • Always keep chicken salad refrigerated.
  • Buy an extra rotisserie chicken and strip the meat, cube and freeze so you will always have rotisserie chicken on hand for a salad.

Serving ideas

  • Serve on a ciabatta roll or favorite sliced bread.
  • Serve with a pasta salad to make a full meal.
  • Spread the salad over a soft tortilla or garden flavor wrap and cut into pinwheels to serve as an appetizer.

    Nice recipe but the olives really have no place in a chicken salad. Try adding shredded carrot and dried cranberries.

      Have you ever tried olives in chicken salad? Thanks for suggesting carrots and cranberries. I would try the cranberries but to me carrots have no place in my chicken salad. To each his own I always say!
