Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 45 minutes
Serving Size 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, diced Rotisserie chicken or leftover roasted chicken work great.
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise Or half mayo, half Greek yogurt for tang.
  • 1/4 cup celery, diced For crunch.
  • 1/4 cup red grapes, halved Seedless preferred.
  • 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped So it doesn’t overpower.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice Fresh is best.
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Preparation

  • Place the diced cooked chicken in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add the mayonnaise, diced celery, halved grapes, and finely chopped red onion.
  • Pour in the lemon juice, then sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the mixture.
  • Gently fold everything together until evenly coated, taking care not to mash the grapes.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld.
  • Serve chilled on bread for a sandwich, with crackers, or in lettuce cups for a lighter option.

Notes

Swap mayonnaise for plain Greek yogurt to cut fat and add tang. Use green grapes for a different flavor. Add chopped walnuts or almonds for extra crunch. Soak red onion in cold water for 5 minutes if less bite is preferred.
