Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by shredding the rotisserie chicken breast using a food processor. Pulse until the chicken is finely shredded but fluffy, which should take about 30 seconds. Once done, transfer this shredded chicken to a large mixing bowl, allowing it to cool slightly as you prepare the dressing.
  2. In the bowl with the shredded chicken, whisk together ¾ cup of plain Greek yogurt, ¼ cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon of grainy mustard, 1 tablespoon of honey, and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Keep whisking for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring an even blend of flavors.
  3. Pour the prepared creamy honey mustard dressing over the shredded chicken in the mixing bowl. Use a spatula or spoon to mix thoroughly, ensuring every piece of chicken is coated. Continue to mix for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the salad to become light and fluffy.
  4. After combining, you have the option to serve your Creamy Honey Mustard Chicken Salad immediately or let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Chilling enhances the flavor melds, making it more refreshing.
