Store-bought rotisserie chicken is always perfect chicken salad! This Pulled Chicken Salad recipe is our favorite go-to chicken salad recipe for sandwiches or to serve on a bed of lettuce.
I usually have pulled rotisserie chicken from Costco in my freezer, but if I’m in a real hurry, I’ve even made this pulled chicken salad with canned chicken……..use what you have! This recipe is one to keep on hand all year long.

Your photos are amazing… I have reservation against mayonnaise but will give it a try nonetheless. We also did a similar Barbeque chicken sandwich with ciabatta roll at http://desigrub.com/2010/08/a-tale-of-two-barbeque-chicken-sandwiches/ . There we compared two different kinds of meat (one was rotisserie =chicken) with exact same preparation. We would love to hear any comments you have.
Wow- that looks totally delicious! Have you ever tried a muffaletta? It’s a New Orleans style sandwich and it’s my absolute favorite!
