Instructions

Prepare the chicken: Remove all bones and skin from the rotisserie chicken and shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. Place the shredded chicken in a large mixing bowl.
Combine all ingredients: Add the halved grapes, chopped celery, green onions, and fresh dill to the bowl with the chicken. Pour in the mayonnaise, dijon mustard, and sweet relish. Add the lemon juice and zest, lemon pepper dill seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Mix thoroughly: Using a large spoon or spatula, gently fold all ingredients together until everything is evenly coated with the dressing. Make sure to mix thoroughly but carefully to maintain the texture of the chicken and other ingredients.
Chill before serving: For best flavor, cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.

Notes

For a lighter version, you can substitute Greek yogurt for half of the mayonnaise.
This chicken salad tastes even better the next day as the flavors have more time to develop.
Serve on a bed of lettuce, in a sandwich, or with crackers for a complete meal.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Add chopped almonds or walnuts for extra crunch and nutrition.
