Serving Ideas
This Rotisserie Chicken Salad is incredibly versatile and works for almost any meal.
Pile it onto buttery croissants for an easy lunch, serve it on your favorite sandwich bread, roll it into a wrap, spoon it into lettuce wraps or lettuce cups for a lower-carb option, or enjoy it over a bed of greens.

Storage Tips
Store leftover chicken salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Give it a quick stir before serving since some of the dressing may settle during storage. I don't recommend freezing this recipe because mayonnaise-based salads tend to separate once thawed.
This recipe is perfect for meal prep because the flavors continue to blend together after a few hours in the refrigerator.
