Chicken Salad

  • Cut baked chicken into 1/2-inch bite size pieces or shred rotisserie chicken into bite-size pieces
  • Place chicken in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper.  
  • Toss chicken with 1/2 cup of yogurt, add remaining ingredients and combine.   Add more yogurt as needed to reach your desired consistency.  I like my chicken salad on the drier side for this recipe
  • If making in advance cover tightly and store up to 48 hours in the refrigerator

To Assemble Chicken Salad Wonton Cups

  • Place a scoop of cold chicken salad in a room temperature wonton cup.  Enjoy!

Notes

 
Make Ahead:
Chicken Salad
The chicken salad can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored tightly covered in the refrigerator.  
Wonton Cups
Wonton cups can be made a day in advance.  Store tightly sealed in the refrigerator or at room temperature.  Wonton cups should be brought to room temperature, if cold, before assembling the wonton cups.
