Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 3 lbs.) or leftover chicken, or store-bought rotisserie chicken (omit other seasonings)
- 2 teaspoon rotisserie chicken seasoning
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- 2 stalks celery diced
- 1 ½ cups grapes halved
- 1 ½ cups walnut halves
- 1 cup mayo
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt, pepper & (optional) seasoned salt to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F. Trim chicken breasts of fat. Place in a baking dish along with ¼ cup water. I find the water helps to keep the chicken extra moist.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts, then sprinkle over the rotisserie chicken seasoning, thyme, salt, pepper, and seasoned salt. Rub the seasonings into the chicken until evenly spread and well-coated.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reads 165 F. in the thickest part of the chicken.
- Once cooked through, remove from the oven and allow to rest for 30 minutes, then refrigerate. The chicken retains more moisture and cuts better into cubes when cooled in the refrigerator for a few hours.
- After the chicken has been refrigerated for a few hours: Dice the celery. Halve the grapes. Chop chicken into bite-sized pieces. Then, add to a large mixing bowl along with the walnuts. Add in the mayo, then gently stir or fold together until evenly coated and well-dispersed. Tip: You may want to start with half the amount of mayo, then add more as you wish.
- Season with more salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve as is or with lettuce wraps.
Notes
- You can easily increase or decrease the servings of this recipe by increasing/decreasing the amount of chicken, walnuts, and grapes.
