Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Serving Size 4 servings

Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced (rotisserie or roasted chicken works best)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise (see substitutions below)
  • 1/4 cup celery, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup red grapes, halved (seedless preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preparation

  • Dice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces and place in a medium mixing bowl.
  • Add the mayonnaise, celery, grapes, and red onion.
  • Pour in the lemon juice, then sprinkle salt and black pepper over the mixture.
  • Stir everything gently but thoroughly so the dressing coats the chicken and fruit evenly.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.

Notes

Mayonnaise can be swapped for plain Greek yogurt for a tangier, lower-fat version. Use seedless grapes to avoid surprise seeds; halving them prevents large pieces from overpowering. Toasted nuts add crunch, or swap grapes for cranberries for a fall twist. Best served cold or at room temperature.
