Instructions

Begin by washing and preparing all ingredients. Dice the celery and green onions, cut the grapes into small bite-sized pieces, and chop the cooked chicken. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped chicken, mayonnaise, celery, green onions, grapes, celery salt, salt, black pepper, and walnuts. Stir until everything is evenly coated in the creamy dressing. Taste the salad and add additional salt or black pepper if desired. You can also add fresh herbs like fresh dill for even more flavor.
Serve this creamy chicken salad on sandwich bread, inside lettuce wraps, in lettuce cups, over a bed of lettuce, or with crackers for an easy quick lunch. Or you chill in the refrigerator and enjoy later!

Notes

Rotisserie chicken works wonderfully in this recipe and makes prep even easier for busy weekdays.
For a shredded chicken salad texture, pulse the mixture in a food processor for a few seconds before serving.
Chill the chicken salad for 30 minutes before serving for even better flavor.
Fresh dill or parsley can be added for extra freshness and flavor.
For a lighter version, substitute part of the mayonnaise with plain Greek yogurt or sour cream.
Serve this chicken salad in sandwiches, croissants, lettuce wraps, lettuce cups, or with crackers.
