This creamy rotisserie chicken salad is great for parties or family gatherings, and prep is fast. This recipe is easily doubled. You can also make it with leftover roast chicken. Serve in pita pockets or on bread, crackers, bagel chips, crostini, or whatever bread item you like.

Servings: 8

1 deli rotisserie chicken, meat removed and shredded
1 white onion, chopped
4 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
½ cup sweet-hot pickle relish
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
½ cup mayonnaise, or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Combine chicken, onion, eggs, pickle relish, mustard, paprika, and red pepper flakes in a bowl; stir in mayonnaise by spoonfuls until mixture holds together but isn't too moist. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook’s Note
If you purée the onion, drain off the liquid before adding it to the salad. This method gives a slightly more intense onion flavor.
