Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by taking 3 cups of rotisserie chicken breast and roughly chop it into bite-sized pieces. Use two forks for a quick and easy shredding method. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
  2. In a separate bowl, combine ½ cup of plain Greek yogurt, 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons each of Dijon and grainy mustard, along with 2 tablespoons of honey and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Season with ½ teaspoon of salt. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
  3. Pour the dressing over the shredded chicken and gently fold until coated evenly. Aim for a creamy consistency.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Once chilled, stir the salad and serve on toasted sourdough, in wraps, or alongside crackers.
