Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 cups of cooked, shredded chicken, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup chopped celery, 1/4 cup chopped red onion, 1 tablespoon mustard, 1/4 cup sweet pickle relish, salt, and pepper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded chicken and mayonnaise. Use a spatula or spoon to mix them together until the chicken is evenly coated with the mayonnaise.

- Serve the chicken salad immediately on a bed of lettuce, in a sandwich, or with crackers. Enjoy your Copycat Chicken Salad Chick Sassy Scotty!
Tips
- Use freshly cooked or rotisserie chicken for the best flavor and texture. Shred the chicken while it's still slightly warm for easier mixing.
- For extra crunch, consider toasting your chopped celery briefly in a dry pan before adding to the salad.
- Allow the chicken salad to chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
- Experiment with different types of mustard (Dijon, whole grain) to customize the tanginess.
- For a lighter version, substitute half the mayonnaise with Greek yogurt.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days, making it perfect for meal prep.
- Serve on a bed of mixed greens, in a croissant, or with crispy crackers for varied presentation.
