Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Chicken
- Remove the skin from the HEB rotisserie chicken and shred the meat using your hands or two forks. Try to keep the pieces bite-sized.
- Place the shredded chicken in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2: Chop the Veggies
- Finely chop the celery and red onion. Smaller pieces blend better and give the salad a smooth texture with a nice crunch.
- Add them to the bowl with the chicken.
Step 3: Add the Dressing
- Spoon in the mayonnaise. Start with less and add more if needed. You want the salad creamy, not soggy.
- Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon juice.
Step 4: Mix Everything Together
- Gently mix all ingredients until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- If you are adding grapes, apples, nuts, or relish, fold them in last.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
- For best flavor, cover the bowl and chill the chicken salad in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving.
- This helps all the flavors come together nicely.
