This chicken salad packs in shredded cheddar, crunchy celery, green bell pepper, scallions, and a pop of color from pimiento. The dressing is half mayonnaise, half yogurt, so you get that creamy richness without feeling like you need a nap afterward.
Mix it up, stash it in the fridge, and you’ve got sandwich filling for the whole week. Pile it high on soft rolls with crisp lettuce, or scoop it onto crackers for a quick snack.
Kitchen Tips
- Use leftover rotisserie chicken for the fastest possible version. Shred it by hand for better texture than chopping.
- The yogurt keeps this lighter than an all-mayo dressing. Use plain Greek yogurt for extra tang and thickness.
- Make it ahead. This filling tastes even better after a few hours in the fridge when the flavors have had time to get acquainted.
