👩🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions
1️⃣ Shred the Chicken
Use leftover or rotisserie chicken.
Shred into small, bite-sized pieces with forks or chop finely.
2️⃣ Make the Dressing Base
In a large bowl, whisk together:
Mayo
Dijon mustard
Lemon juice
Garlic powder
Salt & pepper
3️⃣ Add Chicken & Mix
Fold in chicken until well coated.
4️⃣ Fold in Veggies & Fruit
Gently stir in:
Celery
Grapes
Toasted nuts
Fresh herbs
✅ Don’t overmix — keeps texture intact.
5️⃣ Chill & Serve
Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes (overnight is even better).
Serve cold.
