Dill Pickle Chicken Salad



Ingredients:

2 heaping cups rotisserie chicken breast

2 hard-boiled eggs, chopped

2 stalks celery, finely chopped

1/3 cup green onion, chopped

1/4 cup dill relish 

2 tablespoons avocado oil mayonnaise

3 tablespoons non-fat Greek yogurt

1 tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 tablespoon yellow mustard

Salt and pepper to taste


Directions:

Chop celery, eggs, onion, and shred rotisserie chicken. If you’re using rotisserie chicken that doesn’t have a ton of flavor or has been refrigerated, heat it up in a pan (for JUST a minute) and season it with salt, pepper, and maybe a little garlic. A super quick, hot sear kind of brings it back to life and takes away any weird store-bought rotisserie texture, without giving it that re-cooked poultry flavor. Nobody wants their chicken salad tasting like it’s reheated leftovers.

In a large bowl, combine all “dressing” ingredients (relish to mustard).  Add chopped ingredients and stir to combine.  Once mixed, pair with your favorite crackers, bread, or tortilla.  I like to pair with arugula, more pickles, and pickled onions!
