Chicken Salad with Lemon and Dill
Description
This salad starts by removing the skin and bones from cooked rotisserie chicken breasts and breaking the meat into chunks. Fresh dill adds a fragrant herbal note, while lemon zest and juice provide acidity and brightness. Olive oil enriches the mixture and brings a smooth texture; kosher salt rounds out the flavors.
No cooking is needed beyond the initial preparation of the rotisserie chicken, making this salad quick to assemble. The fresh ingredients combine to give a balanced flavor that complements the tender chicken.
It can be served chilled and works well as a light lunch or sandwich filling.
