Rotisserie BLT Chicken Salad (Perfect for meal prep!)
Description
This salad integrates rotisserie chicken shredded for bite-sized pieces and crispy bacon crumbles with diced celery to add crunch. Mayonnaise and cottage cheese provide a creamy bind along with moisture and mild tang. Black pepper seasons the mixture, while cherry tomatoes are folded in last to maintain their shape and freshness. The overall assembly is simple and requires no cooking other than preparing or purchasing the chicken and bacon separately.
The salad is versatile as a filling for sandwiches, a wrap ingredient, or a protein-rich snack served with crackers or lettuce leaves. The combination contrasts smoky and creamy flavors with crisp vegetables, creating an easy-to-assemble dish with texture variety. Storing the salad chilled maintains freshness and flavor.
This recipe notes using center-cut bacon to balance texture and fat. It is suggested to season to taste with salt or pepper as needed. The salad keeps well refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 4-5 days, making it suitable for meal prep applications.
